I havent seen many topics about the 3'rd gen trannys ever. And since mine is blown i thought this might be a good time to learn about em. Who makes after market ones? how much power can the stock on hold? 5'th gear synco probs? Where's the best place to buy new or used ones?

good call does anyone know how much a rebuild is?

FD tranny is pretty beefy. Just as long as you don't mis-shift (3rd/5th) you'll have no problems. I know quite a few people(in person and on this board) that have used the FD tranny to the 500+ rwhp range and still running strong.



Guru makes a 5 speed dogmission for the FD, but they're the only company I know of(off hand)that does make one.

Just buy a used one. Or have yours rebuilt. Those are the only cost effective solutions

its about 400 plus parts..... thats what pettit told me and i think thats what pineapple charges... i was giong to get mine rebuilt, with all new syncrhos...

was recently quoted 1200 to rebuild...

and 2200 for a new jspec...

wow 2200 for a brand new one that's really exp, i think GREX makes a 6 speed tranny but i havent ever seen it. I just saw it on a show car once and it said GREX 6 speed.

if you think 2200 is alot dont even ask about the 6 speed

they are great trannies unless you have the same name as me apparently lol

not to ask a stupid question but what goes into a rebuilt tranny?

gears,syncros?
