Tranny gone
 
Well i need to get my tranny rebuilt and the loubor cost is about $900 and dont know what parts.

Shitty f-ing deal.

What should i do, ride it out till it dies out then do a swap, scrap the car and get something else? What i ask you, What? :hithead:

Follow these steps:

1) Take out an ad in the paper advertising yourself as a gigolo
2) While earning money as a gigolo, continue to drive your car as you would daily
3) Buy a B18 or B16 engine. Continue being a gigolo.
4) When the tranny renders the car undrivable, swap the engine in.
5) Cry. For fack's sake you're nothing more than a common wh0re after all.

Note: steps 1 and 2 are optional. Steps 3, 4, and 5 are mandatory.

Auto or stick?

Do you plan to keep the car for alot longer? If so, it might not be a bad idea to fix it. If you plan to sell it soon, you could just buy a used tranny from one of the used Japanese auto part places around the city and then sell the car. :tup:

its stick, and well i would like to keep the car

gtracing 11-16-2004 12:49 AM

keep it, just swap the engine...u can find a cheap b16 or b18 somewhere...maybe u can do h22, the prices dropped dramatically since the k20 came out

BlAcK_eL 11-16-2004 12:23 PM

anyone got one for sale?

What is the av price for b16 or b18?

TeLLy 11-16-2004 12:29 PM

Hey Black_EL, you should talk to mikeweb. He's got a GSR swapped in to his car....did it himself too. Also you might want to ask Jaime (LOCO) for tips.

vtec_concept 11-16-2004 01:24 PM

ooo crappy the tranny has died..

interesting cause mine is just about dead....except mine is an auto tranny...

if I were you....like it was said before, b-series motors have droped a lot..

what I would recommend for a very affordable swap, go with a B18B LS non-vtec
Jaime aka EL_Loco can probably hook u up with a motor

BlAcK_eL 11-17-2004 06:51 PM

Whats the price on a b18 these days? can any one tell me. what would be a good price

EL905 11-17-2004 08:33 PM

Dunno know about the b18b, but I can get the b18c1 (GSR) installed w/ everything needed for about 3750 tax in. If that helps

Jeff 11-18-2004 12:52 AM

Isnt it illegal to install a engine that is older then the car? Cause I have been told the only certify engine swap out here in califonia is a engine that is from a rsx or newer si k20.

Yes, it is, but his car is a 1.6EL - equivalent of a 6thgen Civic.
