what would i need to rebuild my tranny? its a usdm gsr tranny. wheres the best place to find syncros? thanks

 

i have the same issue so if i find any ill let you know please do the same for me

 

probably just buy whatever parts are out of spec from the dealer or whatever online. Trannys are pretty cheap if you goto a yard and pick one up.

I would probalby just buy used one instead of rebuidling...ugh

 

I asked about this once and I think it was $300 for the gear set new, then whatever it cost to have it done unless you do it yourself.

 

thats all I would be would be the gears? what would be the best place to buy them? I was thinkin of tryin to run gsr 1st and 2nd gear, type r 3 and 4th and ls 5th. But dont know yet. Thanks

 

if you were actually going to that, why wouldn't you run the ls gears down low for the low end torque?

 

I dont understand how running ls gears would give you low end torque. Im runnin an n/a engine, so shorter gears will be better allowing me to run through gears quicker, the fifth gear i want ls because it will be more suitable for freeway speeds.

 

just wondering, if you have a gsr transmission already, aren't the gears pretty 'tight' already? i know in my LS first and second aren't too bad but once i hit third i can really notice a loss in acceleration. do you notice this in your gsr trans too? because i was going to rebuild my transmission with gsr gears but now maybe i'll go with itr 3rd and 4th if the gsr ones are kind of 'long.'
also when you're rebuilding your transmission i would replace the synchros while you're already in there.

 

The reason I said gear set is becaues I don't think you can just buy the synchros.

 

boost it... the ls 3rd gear will be your new best friend
