Final drive upgrade

[CivicBeater]

I've been down the road of purchasing used tranny's. Never again.

Do I even have to say anything?

What's the point? when you can just pick up a low mile 98+ spec jdm trans with the 4.7 for around 1500-1600 and have all of the extra replacement parts on hand.

The last used transmission I bought was a 98' JDM Unit...

-Missing 4.785 FD (4.4 in its place)
-Syncho's were trashed
-1st + 2nd Gear trashed
-Most/All bearings trashed

This was purchased from a long standing ITR community member. In his defense he honestly wasn't aware of the condition and he did reimburse me $500 of the $800.

Well who the hell would want to help throw in a jdm 4.7 FD? I am transmission-stupid so that's why I opt for the route of just unbolt big part -> put in different big part.

I would be down to help. I want to learn. I know Jack/Will/others have the full know how on this subject.

Will came up to NYC back in 2004 and we installed 5 FDs in one day on the Rspeed cars

that was EPIC

Before you make that decision, you need to drive 442.

[BlueR]

it was like an assembly line

one group removed the trannies
one group installed the FDs
one group put the trannies back on the car

ah the good old days

I think its important to mention the amount of beers that man consumed during the process.

The Harris boys can drink.
