Im tearing apart my new lsd tranny right now to check everything out. i got to thinking, how easy is it to just swap out the differential? anybody messed with this yet? can i do this without dropping the tranny? that would be amazing. please get back to me guys

 

oh god no... .that **** is horrendous... just swap the whole tranny it's sooo much easier. I tried taking a tranny apart using the correct tools, and the ******* gears kept breaking... . don't do it

 

thats what i needed to know!

 

don't be chicken! go for it!

 

here are some pics-



this one thing which im assuming is a mount of some sort is broken off, i see about where it goes on the car, but not the purpose. anyone help me out?





and i a seal i will need to replace, correct?

 

Damn... that sucks. That seal looks damaged... you'll probably need to change it out for sure.

Something exploded in mine. I'm tearing it off and apart this weekend.

How hard was it to take yours off?

And Paul... do you still have the proper tools to do it?

 

havent taken it off this is my new one

 

Ah, I re-read the post. I see... good luck to you.

I've got a .DOC file on how to tear the trans apart, if you want it. Another member sent it to me... I haven't looked at it yet to figure out how good it is though.

 

the trans or how to take the trans out?

 

Just had to take mine to the dealer because it was bleeding trans fluid.
They said, "no problem, rear seal, have it fixed in a jiffy"
They'd have to drop the trans to do it so I figured this was my chance to throw in the Exedy clutch.
It was all done and put back together, they fill it with fluid and..............
still a leak. CRACKED HOUSING!

 

I've got both actually. I've got a PDF on taking the trans OUT... and a DOC on taking the trans apart.

The doc on trans disassembly is good with pics. im looking at it now.

 

can you send me the pdf on pulling the trans? hatrickstu@yahoo.com

 

Can I get that too? M.Niziol86@gmail.com

You need Chapters 5 & 6... they explain how to take it out... and put it back in.

 

sorry man, I vowed I would never ever take one apart again, new tranny or nothing lol.
as for the seal, easy fix, and just replace the mount with yours, no biggy.... easier than swapping the internals. I got a tranny swap down to about 6 hours on jackstands

 

wow wish you were closer! any idea on if i can just swap seals as well?

 

should be able to, but might as well get new ones since you'll be doing all that work anyway

 

cool cool, im throwing in a bully stag4 clutch as well

 

Screw you Paul! It still takes me 7 hours! A lot better than the original 15 though!

Good luck with the tranny stuff stu!

 

**** you guys are making me glad i didnt try this myself. looks like i gotta build up funds to have this done...

 

It's not hard, it's just time consuming. There is a lot involved with it. I bet if Paul and I teamed up, we could knock it out in about half the time.

 

I plan on doing mine sometime in the next two weeks after finals finish up here in O town.... I have like 6 people coming over to help rip the car apart to get the clutch out. I figure the more guys the quicker it might go.... even though I am going to need more beer for the guys, good thing the keg in the fridge still has some left in it So if I got two whole days off from work, is it going to be possible to rip the tranny apart and put it back together? Assuming I have some clue as to whats going on with a FWD tranny that is!

 

Hell no , I wouldnt and thats coming from a guy who can work on every aspect of this car . This trans is a nightmare . Paul is right about the gears and u do need the specific tools . Our local dealers wont even service them , if there something wrong they just replace the whole thing . IT really sucks , me and a friend got incredible deals on posi units but sold them due to the install woes .

 

I've heard some bad reviews on the Bully clutches. People having problems at the track with the car not wanting to go in to second very easily.

 

DON'T MESS WITH TRANNIES!!!!!!!! Sure she may look pretty but when her pants come off her dick may be bigger then yours. I recomend just staying away.
