Can I rebuild my own tranny?
Wednesday, September 03, 2008 3:11 PM
I have a 5 speed izuzu and 1 and 3rd gear are pretty much shot. I was wondering instead of spending $800-1000 to preobably get it rebuilt can I rebuild it myself? I have lots of tools but have never done a tranny. I am rebuilding the motor right now and the tranny is next.

If there is a write up or someone that has done it that would be awesome, thanks guys

Luckily 5 speeds are the easiest to work on, the problem is finding the parts that you need....

Yeah but then its a used tranny and I would have to buy another flywheel, mounts and weld, @!#$ that. If it shift nice when its done then I am good. The tranny has 180k on it and its never been rebuilt. Personally I think rebuilding its the best idea.

You don't have to buy another flywheel to use the NVG tranny

Nor do you have to weld anything... i just took the W41 and NVG from my 92 GTZ, and threw it in my 95 over a weekend...

easy as cake!

Shifts better also.

I'm not against rebuilding a tranny. Done it myself (on a getrag). Also a good time to put a LSD in. If you can get everything you need for $400 not bad, but if it is going to be $800 plus you can get another tranny (new, if you look) for about $400.

Why do you guys prefer the getrag rather than the izuzu? Also quick question. I see that there are two different types of trannys, ny5 and ny550 whats the difference and how do I tell?

Haha, nope. He sent me pistons that were damaged but I had the machine shop clean them up. He told me that they were good but I had to have the block bored 20 over so I told him to send me some pics so I could list them asap, before I even got them. But non the less they are good to go I just dont need them.
