bearings for LS

[LS Integra]

i think my mechanic is trying 2shaft me hard...

he sed

"you have two options, because i cant get any generic bearings for your gearbox its going to have to be genuine honda bearings, and its going to cost $1100 + labour, or your second option is a second hand gearbox + 2year warranty and that will be $950 + labour"

WTF? for bearings?

am i going spastic for a reason or do they really cost that much??

[strepto]

Which bearings are we talking about? The bearingset from Honda for the B series trannies are inzanely expensive.. What tranny is this?

[LS Integra]

say whaaaa?

no-speaka-da-mechanical

LOL

[tRipitaka]

yeah, it's a very expensive job..
makes u think whether it's all worth it..

[LS Integra]

seriously, im serzly thinkin of juz selling my car.. coz thats juz crazily insane...

[tRipitaka]

either fix it
or sell the car..
unsafe to drive with those kinda problems..

[LS Integra]

like i love my car dude, but they've had it for almost a week, and they only looked at it today.. so like ive had 2sponge rides off everyone to get around.. :S like thats whats really sh1tting me.. then for him to say that.. maybe i'll go and firebomb the place tonight and then my car can get written off on insurance..

yer i got quoted $1200 for rebuild plus labour to reco mine but didnt need it just new bearings got it done at good performance
apparently only can get genuin parts from honda and very hard to find a second hand box and they start from $900 + labour
my box is still here for ya, my car went into the shop today i fuked the motor but box still good car still drives so you can get a feel for the box
let me know if you want it coz i'll prolly just trade it in

[LS Integra]

like its been in there for a week, so i might as well get the bastard fixed, but i dun think ima take it to him anymore.. anyone know any decent mech's close to fairfield/liverpool??

thanks neway skremn, but i'll juz get the bastards to fix it..

another question, how the hell do the bearings just go like that? coz one day it was fine, next day spastic noises? :S

[Weq]

those prices sound about right dude.. checkout the sale section for second hand box's... b-series box's are quite exxy though

[strepto]

The Bseries trannies area really easy to work on too, so Id reccommend trying to fix this yourself :) Get a Helms manual and go crazy!! www.helminc.com

$1200!!!!!!!!

When i rebuilt my crx gearbox with new bearings it only cost
about $350, (input shaft bearing, counter shaft bearing, new diff
bearings, and seals x3) these were from honda aswell.

WTF??????

[LS Integra]

LOL, i duno.. my mechanic is an ass hat.. he still has my car and its been a week.. hes looked at it, and hasnt fixed it.. like WTF! i need my car!

[ataraxia]

I have an S13, i know it's a different kettle of fish but i had the bearings replaced as well as second gear itself for $950. My mates dad is actually a transmission specialist, so going by those prices it seems spot on to me. I was lucky he didn't charge me labour.

[LS Integra]

i got the car back today.. i was wondering.. why the F**K has my clutch gone soft? i had a mad stiff clutch and i could launch it good.. now its soft, its gay.. does that usually happen?

it was $890.. but incl labour was $1290
