garygbnj Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 170K-4th gear synchro allows crunch with fast 3 to 4 shift. Any suggestions other than a complete rebuild? How much is a rebuild? Should I take a chance on a junky trans? If so what year trans would I be better off with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 It's been said the cocktail of 3qt redline lightweight shockpoof and .8qt Motul 300 helps that issue. Or you may want to contact Mike at www.AZPinstalls.com and ask him whoes good in NJ with rebuilds. Plan on about $700 in parts to do it right, plus labor. Cheaper if you can find a guy that will just replace the minimum, if that's what you want. There are few things that should be replaced when its apart, not reused. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it. Engine Build - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 If you haven't done this before, you need to jack up the rear of the car to get all the old fluid out of the tranny. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.
