The 88 turbo 30A I put in the 86 turbo has been making noise since the day I got it. The trans shifts smooth but is noisy. There was metal particles while draining the old gear oil. My Trans re-builder friend says it most likely an input shaft bearing. He offered to R&R it, and rebuild it for $500 plus parts. I found a rebuild Kit on eBay for $124.25.

I ordered a FS5R30A rebuild kit from drivetrain.com a few years back. It was 400 bucks and didn't come with all the bearings. My tranny made some god awful noises from bad bearings. I'd verify that those kits have everything before buying.

Trans rebuild is finished and it shifts smooth and quiet. Total cost was $1185.77 parts and labor

There you go.


reddzx: (2014-11-07 02:45:40)

also has a new drive shaft and finally installed the ASCO V2 poly

diff mount


Filipe: (2014-11-07 03:57:36)

Thats a pretty good price.

Is the diff mount a nice add?


reddzx: (2014-11-07 13:06:34)

yeah, it tightened up the rear suspension. I've only driven it a few miles from the shop to home because of the weather. If it drys up a little, I'll take it out for a cruise


Filipe: (2014-11-09 06:00:52)

sounds good!

Total cost was $1185.77 includes the parts which I bought off Amazon and shop labor

Now that the transmission is smooth and quiet, I can hear the bearing howl from the differential. Oh well, carrier bearings are next
