I Have a 99 gst and the tranny is going up, are there any other trannys i could use instead of the 99 such as a 2000-2003??

Im assuming a manual have you looked at just having it rebuilt or have you looked at any shep trannys, or TRE

 

[chicorico]

thnx

how much do you think it would cost to be rebuilt? and no.

and yes its a 5 speed

 

[dsmpat95]

F5M31 should be the type of transmission.

 

[dsmpat95]

To get it rebuilt may be around $900 or you can find a used one around $450.

That was just my 2 cents on the rebuild that way you know the trans is good i bought a used one one time and the damn thing craped out again in 3 months of just daily driving. not to discourage you from it though it was just my bad experience.

is that a good transmission im a newbie at this? and thnx

He is right. Just get it rebuilt. I only have been lucky once on a used transmission, even if it lasted a little over a year.

i guess its no way around keeping this affordable but i guess its worth it, ill start looking for places in my area that rebuilds trannys then for a reasonable price.

thnx all

well i dunno what itd be to have shep do it. They usually require a core and i know IPT is decent as well i got my auto rebuild kit from them and did it my self. They have manual trans stuff thought id clarify that.

I'm waiting on mine from them as we speak. Just waiting on the LSD to come in. I went with the stage two.

Good trans i just saw what he was running and being a newb I figure the stage1 would do him justice. I will say how much cleaner their trans shift as well. They are amazing.

yea they do help alot my friend has one in his i went with AWD this time my first 2g was a gst auto which was really nice after i put the IPT rebuild kit in the trans and had their reworked valve body. Always had the dumb lil honda kids in my area that thought they were fast getting the wonderful earful of the BOV.
