Hi Guys,
I'll be replacing my diff in the very near future. My gearbox also needs to have something done about it. thought i'd do em together n save on labor. its Very notchy. Has already had new oil put in just a week or so ago. feels very loose and flimsy and very annoying to drive with. I called around for gearboxes. anywhere with a low 50 kms AP1 gearbox wanted 2200. I found Honda World who offered 1650 swapover with my existing one, 2000 to install and swap over with existing. Or 2200 to re-build. I asked and he said he wouldnt bother rebuilding and would just swap over with the 54kms because he believed it is in such good condition. now i dont know if its just to sell off the gearbox he has or he means what he is saying. do i rather spend few hundred more and rebuild my gearbox? is that too much? do they even do good rebuilds of gearboxes? anyone know? i'm lost for what i should do. i'm aware i'm going to need atleast 5gs bare minimum to have a gearbox and diff replaced.
