My Transmission was popping out 4gear, and the transmission was making so much noise from 1st to 3rd gear, and was kind or hard to shift, so I decide to open it up and see what's going on.

There was a broken Peace of metal inside, the Bell Housing was kind of damage, and the peaces that holds the forks where it shifts were damaged as well (I don't know how is it called, But the second pic tells everything.

I found that the Center differential Bearing is damage as well.

I can replace all the parts, But, Was wondering if the Bell housing still usable, which is hard to find an AWD Tranny Bell Housing.


What do you guys think.

any chance you have some better pics of the bell housing? and have you searched craigslist at all to find an awd trans? it may be cheaper and get you on the road faster just to do that. its just how much do you really want to dig into the trans.

Thanks for the advice.

I found 2 at Craigslist, But one is 850$ and the other 900$ and one doesn't have the same splines as mine.

I Looked at TRE Web, and he has some bell housing for 185$ or something like that.
I Email him for some Info, but haven't receive an answer jet.
First, I was planing on send him the assembled input shaft, intermediate shaft, center diff, shift rails, front diff and pinion shaft, Well, all Internals, so he can rebuild everything and, I can get everything back together and just drop it into the Housing.

(BUT).


I was looking at Jacks Web, and they are selling one AWD called the (economy). and it is cheap, it is 100% Stock.
I Just send him an Email to get some more Information about the Tranny.
I was thinking to go for it which is not that expensive, and that way I have a peace of mine of what I have.

I can get that one for now to keep moving while I get some more time, $$$$$$ to put some upgrades. Like the evo 5th gear, synchros etc, etc, etc.

I don't think I can find an AWD used for cheap, and even been cheap with the shipping it gets more pricey.
I wish to find one Locally.

Ho, and Sorry about the Pic. :banghead:
I will try to take a better one.
 
Well
I send so many PM to the AWD Transmission Seller's that, I (NEVER GOT ANY RESPOND)... :mad:
So I got so upset that I Gave up.
I know there are so many out there like, TRE'.,,,, and others, but, After my AWD and FWD Project, I can't afford that much of money.
Any ways, I found a used FWD Transmission, Starter, Dust Plate and AXLES for 200$. So I decide to put it on and use my car for a while Like FWD, till I get more money and Maybe go for a new Tranny (EVOIII Upgrade).
I just want to let every one know before I Mark this Thread as Resolved.

Thank you guys for the Help, I appreciate it. :hellyeah:
