Hi everyone. I am about to swap my auto to a manual but the only decent tranny I have found around my area have a bad third and fourth gear. I am looking for places to have it replaced but i am just wondering how difficult they are to diy. Any advice or links to threads that explain this are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kenny

 

It requires special tools. You might also need a press for the bearings. You'll also need an impact. If it has staked nuts on the end of the shafts you will definatly need and impact and punch. You will also need to get a service manual or a break down of the transmission with the snap ring bearings synchros and other associated parts. You'll also need snap ring pliers. It takes some work. I think its like 6 hours flat rate for a shop to do it.

If you don't have training or knowledge on transmissions i would suggest having a shop rebuild it. Its not like bolting on an exhaust or intercooler. It's a lot more intensive.

 

nevermind i have another thread.
