Sonicfrog Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 So now I have a gasket job to start this week-end. I figure this is the perfect time to do the 5 speed tranny swap and dump the 3 speed auto for good! Question 1: Have you guys had success with pulling a replacement tranny from the Bone Yard? It would be more work and more time consuming, but I do need to go the yard to get a pedal assembly, gear shift, and rear diff anyway. I save money but I take a chance on pulling a dud. Question 2: How have the RX trannys held up over time. If I buy a pre-used tranny from an engine shop (assuming they can get one) or find one at the yard, should I use this tranny instead of the standard 5 speed hi / lo?

[HTi]Savage Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Well that depends, if u want the AWD 5 seeed D/R or the part time 5 speed D/R. The AWD's are harder to find, and there a 3.7 final drive. The part time tranny is a 3.9 final drive, just depends if u want the lower gears or not. They hold up pretty well , strong trannys.
