I'm going to build an autcross trans out of my spares. I have one good trans with no shift/bearing problems a spare side shift and spare tailshift. Actually surprised it good considering how i drive it.

Just wonder what i need other than a seal kit? Its a stock 2.0L.

The paper shims between the intermediate plate and the case. You will definitely need those.

Chances are at least so-so that you need one or both bearings in the intermediate plate.

Once you're in the box, you may find a whole lot of things that need to be replaced. But you won't know until you get a look at them.

Thanks Dave,

Case is already open and everything is good.

Now all i need are instructions.

The tool to remove the dogteeth gears.

Last time I tried to order it from PP, they were out of stock so think ahead.

Would DrEvils video cover any of this? Swapping gears, that is.

Yes I highly recommend his video.

The teardown and rebuild would be the same, just parts in different places.

You have all the parts you need to swap gears
I did this 5 years ago, as well as swapped to a 12 lb flywheel. Fun for waking up more pep racing, and I still drive around w this transaxle all the time running errands and commuting.
You'll need more gear oil to finish the job

I just went to read the thread to buy the Dr's video and found that the question about swapping gears was only asked about 40 or 50 times. Good thing i started a new thread for it.

Thanks for the info guys.

All this just to beat a frickin Miata at autocross in a stock 2.0(still wont happen).
