Im selling a Y80 transmission. I am taking it off the B18C1 tonight. I want to get pics of the inside if possible to show possible buyers that its in good condition. I plan on draining the transmission oil before shipment too. My question is if I crack open the tranny is that going to ruin the gasket? Is it one of those things that shouldnt be re-used?

Thx

 

simple question: does it ruin the gasket or not?

 

there's no gasket between the block/tranny

 

Yes, there is a gasket between the 2 tranny halfs and cant be used after opened... but thats why you use RTV to reseal the tranny halfs...

opening a tranny isnt hard, but if you dont know how to split the halfs, you can fight with it for hours...

 

so how do you open the halfs??? just thought id be nice to know

 

you are going to need hondabond or a good sealent (permatex grey) to seal the halves again.

and if you dont know how to open a transmission i would get a helms. its not the hardest thing to do in the world but you could likley hurt yourself or damage the transmission if you do it wrong.

 

oh, I thought he was talking about taking it apart from the b18c (motor)

 

Thanks for the replies everyone. I decided its not worth taking apart.
