JDM Transmission Shops????
Hey import guys, I'm going back to the 4 banger side of things. Letting my Uncle take my Fox body and taking back my 99 Prelude Sh back. Only problem is, i need a new oil pan, k member, and transmission. I'm lookin for a JDM shop that does the swaps on the cheap but good quality. I think my shift fork is broken because my car no longer goes into reverse (reverse is kinda important no?). If anyone knows any shops nearby la area, or orange county area that can swap my tranny out or at least sell one with a warranty and i can install it, i would appreciate any info! Thanks in advance guys.

PS Why the switch back? Mileage? |

And as for the switch back, yes something along those lines. He needs a daily driver because he uses a big truck for commuting and he fills up every 4 days with $100 each fill up. I owe him favors and money for performance parts, so i told him just bring me back my Honda and I'll give you back the Mustang. He agreed so i should have the Honda within the next month or whenever the weather permits him to tow it to California. It's a nice little car though. 99 Prelude, Head Unit, Subs and Amp, Aem cold air intake, exhaust, headers, good paint job. I'm going to bring the Mustang one last time to the motorgen meet, then after that I will be bringing the Prelude. Kinda down-grading on performance :suicide: but it'll get me around. It's a manual transmission I'm in need of BTW. |
We all just do what we can and there ain't nothing wrong with a Prelude. You might want to check LKQ Corp for a used tranny out of low mileage wreck. They have a yard right here in Santa Fe Springs. Effecient straight forward operation. Also, you might even ask AutoZone if they have rebuilds available. A lot of time they will come with a 12/12,000 warranty are fairly generous on the core charge. Maybe you could to the labor yourself, or maybe work out a payment with enkeivette, who will be on break here pretty soon and might be looking for little side jobs. He's done lots of work on his FWD Neon over the years and could handle that just fine I'm sure. That's probably going to be about your least expensive route.

I was walking to class today and saw a prelude with a sticker that said socalprelude.com, give that site a shot with your questions. Can't be the clutch fork or else your clutch wouldn't be able to engage/disengage period.

Look at LKQ or even ebay. Ive used LKQ several times for my and my friends, always good service with them.

On my Neon trans I think reverse is straight cut, so it doesn't go in as easily. That's what she said. Have you tried letting up on the clutch slowly while trying to push it in reverse? Sometimes this is the only way I can do it in my Neon.

reverse probably doesn't have a synchro, idiot proof.
