Transmission Internal Picture thread

[wicked]

How much does the revised synchros cost? I may just go with those and the LSD from the MSP. The car is getting a FS-ZE from Japan, so I want the tranny to hold up to some decent power but without the issue of 3rd gear, and the "one wheel peel" Thanks for the info though guys!

Chris

just going to the FS-ZE you won't be pushing the trans that much,but the LSD...yeah,I def advise.

I planned on shooting for 250hp out of the FS ZE...will the stock trans with a LSD put in it handle that amount of HP?

Bump for anyone popping out of 5th after rebuild! Maybe the synchro was not properly lined up with the gear? My buddy took the 5th/reverse gearing apart and said he put it back just the way it was and it was the only part I didn't double check.

 

[shane02pro5]

I'm assuming the 5th gear synchro was just not aligned when I torqued the nut down after looking at my old blown tranny parts. Still not sure on the orientation of the 5th/reverse selector. I would imagine the beefier part would be down with the chamfered edge for strength on the lead into 5th.

Did you bend in the tabs on the lock nuts?

 

[shane02pro5]

The gear selector ring was in backwards.

Where can i get one of these?

lsd snaped yesterday, tore it apart, and foung this to be broken, but the rest of it is in good shape, considering.

 

[shane02pro5]

Can't tell what that is...the bearing seat?

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Dude WTF @ rounded off gear!

 

[Nightmare]

umm, sec..

it sits on this part, that sits inside the ring gear, shown here as an assembly..

 

[Maxx Mazda]

The LSD is listed by Mazda as not serviceable. You need a whole new one.

 

[Nightmare]

if i could get the part, it would be serviceable.. only cause its broken now lol

I wonder if i contacted the lsd maker, if they might have this part..

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Is that the original LSD or the revised one?

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Just buy a new LSD. They're only like $600... Gotta pay to play.

 

[Nightmare]

Though that statment rings true, what is the harm in exhausting options before shelling out what could be a better spent $600? I'm one possibly broken part from having a perfectly capable LSD. People have welded them back together before, there is no reason why i cannot do the same procedure, assuming it is at all do-able. Hence why i posted the questions here, in hopes of an alternative. If i wanted to listen "just go spend over half a grand on a new part that Will break again shortly" i would have asked someone who has a fat wallet and absolutly no idea on how these work.

Probe transmission goes in tomorrow, so i have time to play.


And as far as i know, my LSD is pre revision. I'm not terribly suprised it broke.

I have a junked LSD I can look at to see if it has that part.


Although clearer pics would help.

A quick look can tell you. If you can see springs inside the LSD, it's the old one. Gears only, the new one.
