I got the following email from Jacks Transmissions:
Hello,
We have inspected your transmission and I'm afraid I have some bad news.
This is an early 1G transmission and all of the parts are very small and weak. Most of the special upgrades that are included with our Premium transmission rebuild will not fit in this unit; even if they would the transmission would still be very likely to break under high horsepower. The Quaife LSD, however, would still fit in the transmission.
There are two options.
1. We can do an OEM rebuild plus the Quaife on this transmission. We would refund $200 of your payment. We could still have it shipped by the 24th. We don't recommend this option, since you would still end up with the tiny, weak gears, and we can't warranty a rebuild done on this transmission.
2. We can find a later 1G transmission for you with the stronger components. We would need an additional $300 to pay for the core. It will bolt right in and be a much stronger, better unit with all of our Premium upgrades including the Quaife LSD. The main problem is I have no idea how long it will take for us to find a proper core (if you can send us one, that would be ideal.)
How do you guys feel about what he is saying? What are your recommendations? The trans is a 1990 fwd. The motor is a 1990 turbo jdm cyclone. The ecu is jdm. The body is at 1994 gs.
