Rebuilding my Transmission.
Alright, to start off. I have a JDM GSR LSD transmission. I have close to 400whp and 250wtq. I'll be going more here after I complete my car again. Here is what happened.
The transmission has been showing signs of epic fail. Grinding hard as hell going in third from a down shift, popping out of third and being a fgt going into to fourth. Generally, a little hard to put in gear. Well, I was at the stoplight, eased out of the clutch to start rolling, I hear a pop. The CV axle came out. I took the axle out yesterday, feels like the side gear where the cv slides into, has seperated itself from the transmission, thus, not allowing the cv axle to stay put. (its driveable, till it comes out haha) Needless to ask, is it rebuildable?

Re: Rebuilding my Transmission.
of course it is rebuildable as long as there is no case damage. The question is when it comes apart is there just bad stynchros and a few ate up gears or is there major damage. some times it is more cost effective to buy a whole new tranny unless you are capable to do most of the work yourself. as for the axel there should be a snap ring on the end of the axel that goes into the tranny. that is what hold the axel in place. is that missing?

I plan on ordering parts through Gearspeed Inc. to get new Carbon syncros, sleeves and whatever else I may need once I pop the case and see what I damaged. I just don't want to throw another stock transmission in and tear it up. Do it once, do it right.

Re: Rebuilding my Transmission.
sounds like diff might be broken..does it make noise when driving around? also could be the shift for selector breaking making it hard to go in all gears, thats pretty common from slammin gears. and yea syncros are prolly jacked, if u get the syncro kit from gear speed get the rings also with them, they are like 5 bucks each

I'll know for sure when I crack the case apart this week. It makes no noise, the cv axle just pops out and it also whines like its low on fluid, when its not.
