Transmission Upgrade

[CantCMe]

Well, I ordered a tranny from Speed Circuit and picked the car up this morning and it's all systems go!! Finally, I can use ALL the gears...my troubles are over for now.

[CantCMe]

I think it was $800.00...well worth it.

Naw...I ordered the stock 5-speed w/60,000 miles on it from Speed Circuit. The lsd would have added about $500 to the price and I didn't have it at the time. It still runs great...I'm gonna wait to grab an lsd when I swap out the clutch and add some power.

Im hoping you mean $2200? When I think of 22k I think of 22,000 and that would be funny as hell. HAHA

in my area I can get them for $450 used from a junk yard. NOT trying to rub it in but did yours get new sychros or anything? just wondering thats all thats all. In my jetta that I had I got a gearbox made that had new synchros, upgraded bearings & custom gear ratios for $700 out the door. Infact everything on my mazda's has been more expensive then my jetta. But in the end My mazda's will be WAY better and well worth it.

Where did you get that done for the Jetta? I am close enough to Portland to make the trip if I can get that kind of deal! Even at $1000 I would like to get that done once I get my turbo (eventually) in.
