I got the tranny....it's out of a SOHC 1992 protege.......5 spd...i got it for $250 ...with 70 000k on it.....not bad...anyways...I'm going to replace the clutch too...and i'm kinda strapped for cash...anyone know a good clutch....for cheap...???

I CAN'T WAIT....

I shoulda used that on my old daytona.......it would have saved me a lot of money....it probubly would have enhanced the performance on that thing too... ......

How much is a real main seal ??? ....b/c i'm having my machanic do it...he's good......does it all for cash...no tax.....we have known him for a while...and i'm giving him the tranny....he's going to:

* Take tranny off and check clutch ( @ low rpm and with a load on it [ going on a slight uphill ] it is studdering without a fluctuation in rpm ), flywheel and main rear seal

* Water Pump ( leak under car approx one foot in from bumper and on passenger side )

*Go over front end ( Check CV Joints, Spindles, drive axels and bearings )


so...i think i will need to replace the clutch, pass side drive axel and water pump with the tranny..... NOT FUN.....but everything will be riding beautifully...... I CAN'T WAIT WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

mr.zoom

go to automative warehouse and see Jack at the rice counter...(where all the type R parts i.e. shoulder pads, lights etc..)


He is a good guy.. see him before wed. though.

*rear main seal

*Clutch

*flywhell machined

*Pass side drive axel, and wheel bearing ( axel was seized and they had to break it to get it out...)
