So, has anyone on here had their 5spd tranny rebuilt? Mines going down the tubes, with only 188k on it. I'm just tryign to get a price estimate.

don't quote me on this ( i could be wrong because this is hearsay) but i've been told that rebuilding a tranny is generally more expensive than getting a new/ allready refurbished one put in. again, that's just what i've heard from my tranny killing neighbors.

Well anyone have a price on a new one? Chances are if it hits a certain cost level, I'll part the car and get something else.

i know the auto is 4k installed from toyota. but you get a 2 year warrenty.

the rebuilt auto from toyota was about 2.8k 1.2k install or something like that.

so a manual rebuilt from toyota should be about 2.5k max? also try calling toyotaparts4u and see what they quote you for a toyota rebuild.

Holy crap! I'm pretty sure that the price cut off for this car is about $1500. My dad's mechanic gave me the name/number of a the only guy in my region that'll work on toyota trannies, so I' guess I'll try to talk to him and update you guys.

junk yard...

yeah, i would totally get a low mileage used tranny from somewhere and find a shop that's good to put it in for you. Dealerships always tend to be super expensive by comparison to the other local shops.

a nice new s53 from like a 05 solara

gaak · 12-12-2006, 06:35 PM

would that even fit? cuz if so, that's a really cool idea. got any specs on that tranny?

Total bummer. There is some place in Blaine that has a ton of parts, engines, and transmissions for virtually everything. I don't remember the name though, just remember seeing the commercial for it.

chronoti · 12-13-2006, 01:50 AM

this is the spec on the 06

3.538:1 first gear ratio,
2.045:1 second gear ratio,
1.333:1 third gear ratio,
0.972:1 fourth gear ratio,
0.731:1 fifth gear ratio and
3.583:1 reverse gear ratio

no idea on the final for the ratio's i think the repair manual should have it. my brother has the repair manual and i dont feel like asking him now.

it should bolt up even if it was for the 2az i think they have the same bell housing. only thing i think might not work is if they changed the axles (inner stub area) and the mounting bracket.

i just looked up the prices for them in florida. there about 700 for a 2006! if i knew that when i did my swap i might of opted for that.

gaak · 12-13-2006, 02:02 AM

damn, that would certainly open up a lot of new doors for tranny swaps if it would work....

Grayguy · 12-13-2006, 10:40 AM

I could have gotten an e153 for like $75, but after researching on here found out that it would fuck with my stock 2.2...

I'm rebuilding my S-51 just bearings and seals. that's going to run me about $600 for tools and parts. depending on what's wrong with your trans you may be able to do it yourself for that, or just get a used tranny for like $300 at the junkyard. I believe it's car-part.com that you can use to find parts a different junkyards within a given radius. be worth an extra hours drive to save a couple grand.
