Happy joy, this tranny is a chore for teardown. I found the 1-2 shift collar bound up. I ordered a new one, it costs $600, ouch! I also ordered new synchros, they are over $100 a piece and I need 6, double ouch. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't change them with 90k miles on the car. Here are some pics of it apart for your enjoyment.

hey jay, nice videos on your audi&mustang btw

 

Thanks dude. Make sure ya click through my google ads when visiting. It helps me pay for expanding the site.

 

Nice job jay. i wish i had teh skills to be able to tear down a trnny an dfix it but $1200 in parts. Ouch.

 

I just think about the labor money I am saving and the pain goes away.

 

Hey Jay,

Interesting that you had the 1st to 2nd go out on you. That's what happened to me, but under the original manufacture warranty. The dealer said it came to about $7,000.00 for a new tranny. You saved a lot in labor.

OMG. That makes my friggin year.

By the way I just got the tranny all back together tonight. I ended up buying the AWE-tuning stage 2 clutch to go with it. So it should be awesome shifting when put back together.

 

make sure all those sprockets go back

 

You mean I am not supposed to have a box full of extra parts. I thought that would reduce the rotating mass and make it faster. [8D]LOL
