Hey guys...My poor old ve 5 speed tranny is about to go. It is grinding in all the gears {loudest in 1st,2nd and 3rd}. So i am looking for someone to rebuild it for me or a good used one.......Thanks in advance for any help.



ps...I will ship it to any body that can rebuilt it..

Actually, with a lil bit of knowhow and patience, manual transaxles are not really all that complicated to overhaul. Just get yourself a used tranny for the timebeing so that you can still go through with the daily grind in your car, and grab a manual about overhauling it and do it.

Hunt around apparently BRAND new 4th gens 5-speeds are $1500!

Will a 4th gen bolt up to a vg30?

NOPE but any VE or VG will

if you can drop the trans yourself you could proboly find a shop to rebiuld it for
400-600$ PLUS parts which could be 150-400$ depending on how badly its fugged up

so total would be between 500-1000$

I'd just find another one and swap it, should end up being the cheapest.

my tranny is currently making THIS SOUND

sounds like the old baseball card on the bike trick...sound is present whenever the clutch is engaged. disengage, and the sound goes away. it does it in every gear as well as neutral. loudest in first gear, quietest in neutral. so yeah, add me to the list

Welcome to the bad input shaft bearing club !

Thats what I get for buying a junkyard tranny with 208k miles for 75$. When it blows up I plan on sticking in another 75$ tranny and then maybe rebuilding the current one at my leisure.

I thought mine was obviously noticeable, but it's not at that point. Hopefully, I can take some time off of work soon so I can replace the isb's. That noise would bug the stuff out of me. It's bad enough with the slight whirring.

WTF I wish I could have gotten a tranny for that cheap. I wouldn't be goin easy on this one until I pay for this RX-7. 350 was the cheapest for a tranny in my area and it (my first replacement) went out in a year. I am on my second. $700 in trannies and another 700 for installation. I feel robbed.

CT and MO are fairly close to being on opposite sides of the cost-of-living spectrum. Income per capita has a lot to do with how everything is priced. From housing to coveted used auto parts. Don't feel robbed... it's all relative.

nice to be in a club and know the cause so that sound is definitely the input shaft bearing? it is an annoying sound but i'd like to leave it so i can put off pulling the transmission for awhile. the stereo covers up the sound well. would it be normal for the bearings to lose ***** at 98,000 miles? i've always been suspect of the milage on this car. the interior looks like it has 3 decades of wear but said 87k when i bought the car. it did house 2 dogs a for 3 years though.. what should i expect if i keep driving the car? any additional damage to other parts? i would rather put off doing this for a while since my job is to drive my maxima:-\ i should go back to staying below 4k rpm like i did for the several months after i bought it until i got an insurance settlement a couple months ago. it's hard to baby it now since i don't really have any money invested in the thing.

If the sound goes away in neutral when you push in the clutch but returns when you let it out, then it;s teh unput shaft bearing. Fairly common problem.

And I pulled the tranny from a car in a junkyard (U Wrench It). They might have been having a sale, I dont remember.

it's ok, there's a howling sound that's always came from the tranny so it'll be nice to fix that while i'm at it. heh, i remember a turbo guy a month or 2 ago saying he was giving up on the max because of the input shaft and how he had to fix his tranny 5 times in the last year or something..weak.
