damn man... i can prolly pump out 7 or 8 t-5 in an 8 hour day if i tried, thats with the tranny out of the car obviously... and i donno what shop books say for hours on one but my price thats 700-800 profit in a day not to bad huh... to bad i can't get more people to send them to me

yeah. i can usually do 2 complete rebuilds in a day. thats pulling and installing the trans, rwd! not fwd those suck. and if im just doin pump reseals, mauaha i can do like 3 or 4of those in a day, and they're 10.4 hours each!

see autos to u are like manuals to me haha, i can pull a t-5 in 45 min. flat backing it in a garage with hand tools thats removing the exhaust too obviously, if i could get more people to send me trannys i would quite work and do that out of my house fora living

FiveLiterRiceEater

hell yeah. thats the problem though shippin a trans cost too much

94gtcoupe

from cali shipping ups cost 50-75 one way so figure 150, 100 labor and 200 parts= 450 and a shop usualy charges 1200 if u take the tranny in

94 gt do you rebuild the whole tranny or just whats broken???

thanks for the quik responses. i actually remember that you are the tranny guy so i was hoping you would see this thread. but ya i will try adjusting the clutch and if that dont get it would pilot bearing replacement be something a backyard mechanic could do or is that a specialist job. if i need totake it somewhere what do you think it will cost round about.

94gtcoupe

yea the pilot bearing is able to be done by the "backyard" mechanic there are a few tricks of the trade to make it possable... the easiest and cleanest way is a slide hammer... if you don't have onve pm me and i'll explain a few other ways to do it...

and lou that totaly depends on the customer and what they want, the price i listed above is for a traditional rebuild which consists of bearings, seals, and the syncros, if there is anything else that had alot of wear on it i ALWAYS contact the owner and let them know about it and if they want it fixed while its apart i'm more than happy to do it, and since a traditional rebuild means every part is removed the labor charge doesn't sky rocket but does go up just a little (depending on what extra parts are needed)

i do the same thing a reputable shop does, purchase a rebuild kit and replace those parts and if anything else is needed let the customer know and go from there, currently i have no extra parts but usualy i have some laying around and if i have the part needed i will let the customer know that i have a used part or i can order a new one, usualy i charger half price for my used parts ( i don't use anything that i wouldn't use in my own tranny)

i wont be suprised at all if it is your clutch not disengaguing fully like 94gtcoupe said. but i have a few questions, they mighta been adressed already, but im in class so i just skimmed over the thread.

does it do it in a select few gears? or every single one?
when your moving, and shifting hard, a. is it possible? and b. do you get any grind at all? if so, all or which gears?

how long ago was the clutch replaced? if you know.

i ask all this because, my old tranny was fubar and it did that and WAS my syncros, however i will be suprised if that is your problem, if it were you would have noticed problems for a while before this, such as grinding when you throw it in gear hard, etc. pilot bearing isnt too bad a job, but if you do it, go ahead and throw i clutch in it too... already that far, might as well spend a lil more, and eliminate one more thing...

+1 on the clutch. If it was only 1 gear that was giving you fits maybe it would be something else, but since it is most gears it has to be a something that deals with all gears. If it was just 1st none others it would probly be 1st syncro. Your clutch is not releasing the trans all the way. Buy an adjustable quadrant, them stock plastic ones only last so long.
