what should i pay for a good ex\si tranny i was quoted 600 for a rebuilt ex, i have a dx and the gears are way too freaking tall, 5th is useless. can i sub a different lower final drive from another tranny to come up with a better combo?

 

hm i've seen people sell them for around $150+

 

150-250

 

i got a quote for one that needed rebuilt for 250, just seemed kinda steep to me

 

sure is. if you look hard enough, you might run across a complete engine from 4-600

That's rip off. I gave my grinding transmission away for free last week.

I recently saw a Y8 for that much in the classifieds.

Thank you very much. I'll be tearing into it tomorrow.

 

what sucks around here is there arent many people around here that deal with d-series stuff, im sure its around but finding it is another story. either that or i can find 88-91 trannys all day long for cheap. but their not hydro

 

They can be had for 150-200 just look around

 

what would the outcome be by putting an si final drive in my dx tranny? what about the final drive out of a 88-91 si

Buy my gearset. Includes final drive, ring gear, diff, gear cluster. You gotta put the DX differential on the EX ring gear, use the top two countershaft bearings from the DX, and then strip the EX mainshaft and install a new thrust shim. Its a HUGE pain in the ***.

 

well...i dont want to buy a huge pain in the ***, i have a hard enough one getting my car past 100mph

 

i got my tranny for 100 bux. had to drive 3 hours there and 3 back but hey.

 

ok, lets try this, anyone in the southern idaho area have a ex\si tranny for sale, i know, post this in the classified forum, well, i will!

 

anyone know about the final drive?
