Need 5 spd swap buying advice!!

[ICEMAN707]

Do any of you guys know a site with the best remanufactured (not rebuilt) 3gee 5 spd transmissions for our cars for the price? I'm thinking Jasper, but if you guys know a better one with top-notch work, please post links. Thanks.

Also, anyone willing to sell their 5 spd swap? Meaning, linkages, shifter, pedals, ECU, clutch cable, etc.

BTW, what's the 5 spd tranny code again?

Picked up my last 2 transmissions from a place in tallahassee called Mantrans llc. Check them out. Full one year warranty and right around 500 bucks Fully rebuilt and dynoed

[ICEMAN707]

thanks vin! good thing it's right here in FL too! you know a contact info or website for them?

[Vinny]

I'd have to do some thinking on what the guys name is. The actual price was 479 plus tax and shipping. Tell them I sent you and ask if they wil honor the price. If I can think of the guys name OR find his card I'll post it up for ya

Heres the link for them.

Like I said I have had no problems with either tranny so it makes me quite happy. Last i checked their turnaround time was a little long because of the lack of transmissions. Don't forget if you dont have a core its an additional 100 or 125 I believe.

Have you checked the local u pulls?

[ICEMAN707]

yeah i check the local u-pulls and they are asking $350 for everything needed to do the swap. i looked around and can't seem to find a good looking tranny to boost my confidence. i think i'll see how much he wants it for without the tranny and get a remanufactured tranny. that $500 is a really good price. doesnt seem like they deal with auto trannies though. will they still take my auto tranny as a core? also, what's your last name? for all they know there could have been a million vinnys they've served before :lol:

[Vinny]

thats odd that they are so High on prices. I went to Atlanta yesterday and they wanted 47 for the tranny itself. Its best to buy a new clutch cable as well as the clucth, Pressure plate and release bearing. I picked up my flywheel from Advance auto for 45 bucks or so. New with a lifetime warrabty so if never have to worry about having it reworked when you change the clutch again. I wouldnt think they would want much for the linkage and pedal assemble. You wont need a different ECU.

If nothing else call a feww JAX pull a parts or Tampa and see what they have to offer

BUMP for edited post up top.

P.S. the $350 is for them to pull it out instead of me. lol, i got no tools for that sort of thing. but i can remove everything else myself besides the tranny.

Removin the tranny isnt bad at all. Its quite easy. I started pulling a teg tranny at the yard yesterday and had it all done but the axles in about 15 minutes. I stppoed becuase the engine looked like it was going to fall and I didn't feel lile getting squashed. 14mm socket, a ratchet, breaker bar is about all you need for the tranny. minus the stuff to pop the lower Ball joint and tie rod end to get the axle out

[HostileJava]

Just keep jacking the engine and tranny till the axles pop out :D

i've taken one of those teg trannys out and you can't unbolt it from the mounts without unbolting the engine from all the mounts except the side one. i just put a tire under the oil pan and hoped it didn't fall. aluminum block, wouldn't hurt that bad... :lol:
