Hah, so my tranny crapped on me. Yeah, wheel hop is not so great. Anyway, pulled the darn thing and I'm gonna send it off to TRE. Here are some pics of the carnage... well, the chaos anyway:

Where oh where has my transmission gone...

Boring OEM clutch...

Pure devastation


But to my astonishment, look at what the FedEx man delivered, straight from Virginia, home of VIPGarage!!!

HP Centric slotted rotors, Goodrich SS lines, ATE Super Blue brake fluid, Metal Masters Pads...






Rotor bigger than my head... Oh the possibilities...

May I ask, why a nice, near bulletproof tranny in only an N/T? Or is it just a basic rebuild?

Id say, while your at it drop in a 4G63 in that baby!

i wheelhopped at the track once and made a nice little hole in my tranny once. about the 3rd time i had to take it out in like a 3 month period. kinda sucks i know, but youll be happy with a fresh rebuild.

i dunno, maybe TRE can do stock rebuilds as well. whatever TRE does its probably gonna be alot cheaper than any local tranny shop would charge to do a half-assed rebuild.

Most definitely. And the 4g63 is coming. But not till next spring. And it's just a budget rebuild, but it'll beat any crap rebuild I get around here.

hahah I see your getting more hands on time You need any help just hit me up on aim man.

Got to love tranny pulls. Never any fun on Hondas, I can't imagine what it'd be like in my DSM. Best of luck to ya.

Not too bad really. Alot easier than I thought it would be. Just time, patience, and some oil in my busted knuckles, and it's all worth it. I wish I hadn't wasted $600 for someone to do my clutch job in May...WTF

honduh's are like the easiest cars to do tranny swaps on. ###### the only car where if youre strong enough, its a 1 person job.

I suggest some prothane motor mounts to solve your wheel hop issues.

Well maybe the turbo trannies are more difficult, but dropping it was pretty easy, aside from my face breakin the fall of the bellhousing.

huh? My awd is a 1 man job. Just reach over the fender and grab the trans. Pull it off of the motor and let it down slow. Really simple.

most of the dsm'ers I know are scrawny little bastards.

Hands and face look fine to me, I dont see any excessive wear or damage on them.

Ah I pulled the trans twice in my 95 GSX, first time for a clutch and second time to send off to TRE to do a Race build. It isn't easy, but it is doable...
