To Redbuild or not to rebuild?? that is the..well you get the idea
so now i have this grinding noise obviously from the other forum i posted, so now im to decide what to do. options?
currently have 5 speed SI transmission installed
1. replace whole transmission with another SI or any kinda 5 speed which would have a different gear ratio
2. pull it out look through it and rebuild it
3. take it to the dealer and let them deal with it and pay the bill ( YEA RIGHT!!!) might as well bend over on that one
main concern money of coarse but is it really worth it to rebuild a tranny rather than buy a used one?
also how much do parts cost to rebuild and what do they consist of?
opinions? criticism?
anyone have a forum or word doc. pdf. on how to replace a tranny for a 99' ex?
thanks

I'm guessing you have a 4G, and it would definitely be easier and cheaper to buy a low mileage imported Japanese tranny (less than $200). Plus, you can't just "look through the tranny" and rebuild it; it's very very complicated, so there's a good chance you would end up with a problem and have to buy another tranny anyway.

i think it was a 5g, but just get a different one. a used one, its a whole hell of a lot cheaper than a rebuild.
yea definatly.. around here in the junk yards trannys run 98 with a warrenty..and another choise..as Kappa22 said..you can get one online directly from japan for around 200

yea at the junk yards around here they charge $98 with 30 day warrenty for any tranny...without the warrenty they charge $64..i was just giving you some quotes from around here..im not sure what the junk yards in your are will charge but it wont be much more...the highest i have heard at any junk yard around here was 125 with 7 day warrenty.
