My trannys not so healthy, has 100K on it but it has some nice symptoms that make me think its the valve body? It will often refuse to shift until high rpms even at half throttle, a good strong downshift will make it slip to rev limiter, and it will slip on medium throttle shifts, and it almost always bangs on all shifts. The kicker is WOT it feels decent lmao.
Anyway not sure how to diagnose a tranny and if I can easily repair it so I am assuming I have to replace it(unless someone thinks otherwise?)
I found many local trannys in the $300 range with 80-100K mileage and they work supposedly(one from a trusted member)
I found one with 5K miles on a rebuild for $900obo with shipping
and Im wondering if Im gonna spend that much if I should try to pony up for one from a company like TEP or a used BUILT one?
The car is stock now but will definitely get a 3.5 and headers this month, and possibly ssic rockers and 3.3-3.4 down the road.
So end all power might be 3.3 ssic 1.9rr and exhaust
I also drive like a total dick wad. I hit wot 1-2 shifts like 10 times a day, and once a week I do a few racing runs or 3-1 or 4-2 downshifts.
so if my power estimates are 300 i might need a tranny for 400 ? Idk im looking for nice alternatives to spending 1700 bucks but i dont want to have to change tranny more than once if I can help it.
Thanks for advice guys
