TL AUTO Trannys have LSDs????
Since you dont mention get a Manual Tranny just ""get 03 CL or 04-08 TL trans"" I can be Confusing your Comment "Assclown"..
If I recall No Auto tranny have LSD only the Manual Trannys have it, This is becouse of Room the Autos didnt come with LSDs. The Type-S comes with VSA but thats not an LSD just a Traction Control to limit Slip on both wheels.

Inside of a auto tranny, they use drum like devices instead of syncros. Its very unique. Ive seen them apart and its mad crazy. The manuals on the other hand arent that bad. Very easy to install. Thanks to Teo, jcharged, steven, and everyone here for making it possible. I wish they had more bad trannys out there. Would b a hell of a deal

The countershaft rebuilt. New gears and sync's. Just a 2jar pulley and a mallet. Mark the gears b4 separation and your days will b nice. I also had the helms manual for reference.

There is no rebuild kit. If your gonna buy gears make sure u buy the set. If u got some mechanic experience u will okay.,take alot of pics, I did, I marked everything and I also numbered my gears. Work the shaft separately. Dont mix the parts, shaft and the gears. U will b confuse. All n all. Not bad.

A machine shop could weld it. Its just aluminum. Also depending on what part of the trans it is you can buy the housings. Cant tell but is that the left side cover? if it is you can buy that for about 160 bucks. (too bad i turned all my old ones in for scrap, i had 3 of them laying around at one point)

yea it is the that plate that the countershafts sits in. i didnt spread the snap ring out enough when the top half was going on and it cause that plate to crack. i ended up buying a new housing and it cracked aloso, cuz i had a weld shop try to fix my old one, and the welder complain about the casing giving off deadly toxic fumes and every time he welded it, it crack. but i have the procedure for fixing it. thanks for all you guys input and the encouragement to keep moving.

Okay so my progress has slowed down a lil. Been busy and trying to save some money for the one or two pieces left. I will buy another clutch housing and redo the install. Hopefully I still can make my goal.

Any updates?
While you were doing the rebuild, did you replace the differential bearings?
If so, did you use the special tool 07HAA-SF10100 with a beam torque wrench to check/adjust the carrier bearings preload?
If you did not use the special tool, how did you improvise to perform this important task?
Thanks.

You may have already seen this.
Anyway, here is a 'Tip' quote from NVA-AV6 (Paul) to phee when he was rebuilding his manual tranny back in the day. This came from the 'Turbo Kit' thread over on the 3G TL side, page 69.
It would be a real shame to see all of your hard rebuild work go down the drain if the above items were overlooked.
Good Luck and update when you can.

This came from the 'Turbo Kit' thread over on the 3G TL side, page 69.LOL, be very careful of the counter shaft bearing, if you do not spread the retaining ring and try to bolt the case together you will be replaceing the other half of the case when you send the other bearing thru the 1/16-1/8" thick casting. Make sure you have the tools to set your diff lash or you will be screwed. be sure to mark what spring bolt came out of what hole, they are 3 different legnths (these are the 12mm head bolts that have the springs and balls that lock the shift arm positions, there are 6 of them. Getting the large shift arm to line up during re-assembly is fun, NOT. And I can not stress enough to check the shiming of the main shaft and diff, if you don't have the tools don't do it.
Good Luck and update when you can.

Hey thanks man. Actually I gave it up. I didnt have the time and patience, so my man Paul Nva6 has the tranny. I had to buy the other half becuz I didn't spread that spacer far out enough. Sucks that was a brand new case too. I really appreciated the inputs.
