Gearbox???

[Age_S2000]

as some of you might know my gearbox is crunching 3rd and its finnally time to get her out n get it rebuilt.

iv gotten quotes on Second hand boxs and there $1750 or more depending on condition or i can get mine fully rebuilt for $1500.

iv heard or read somewere that AP2 Syncros are the bomb BUT i went to honda today to see whats goin on and a few internals are different between 00 - 03 and 04 onwards.

has enyone with an AP1 put AP2 syncros or other components into there AP1 box?

Should be able to pick up a 2nd hand box for far less than 1750 on the 2nd hand market.

I'll have a hunt round for ya.

they are compared to usdm s2000's and i dont think audm s2000's came with the cf synchros.

hmm im getting a stage 2 puddymod soon but i want a good gear box too with out spending 5 - 10k on PPG gear sets

Just get a reco on your box and look after it with the right lubes and what not and im sure you should be fine. Dont forget the person who had it before you might not have looked after it at all and was bound to go at any given moment. I think untill your going to go f/i then you will need something abit stronger.

ever since i changer to DEX3 in the gearbox the cruching has become less occurant and the shifting is so so so much smoother. so i think if i do get her build its back to dex3 for me.

I dunno dude at the end of the day its your choice. IMO i'd get a rebuild only because its just like new. and i know if you were to try and source out ap2 synchros it wont be cheap. But goodluck man.

[stndrd]

i would run a thinner viscosity synthetic gearbox oil, say a 70w90, instead of running atf dex3. but your choice at the end of the day
