replacing trans

[Andy4106]

im about to replace the transmission in my sr s13. what should i do trans wise to make it tip top when i put it in?
cmc, csc, throw out bearing, single line for the clutch and remover the distribution block.
anything else that i should do?

Clutch job? Redline Gear Oil? Rear Main Seal? Rear Transmission Seal? I dunno, does it need anything?

[Andy4106]

clutch is new. and yea doing gear oil as well. rear main seal on motor is good to go. the trans doesnt leak either.
its doesnt need anything as far as i know. shifts good from what im told. the gear in it smells fantastic and doesnt look burnt.

i just wanna do all the preventive stuff i can and make it all good.

Short shifter? Poly transmission mount?

[Andy4106]

nice. i will grab those too.
quick question.
ive found all the parts i need so far. but i cant seem to find a clutch line that deletes the dampener box. can anyone point me in the right direction?>

Agency Power Auto to Manual Conversion Clutch Line (Cheaper) or ISIS... Both are good quality.

BTW, I do recommend the generic eBay short shifter v2. I have one and they fixed all minor details that made it crappy such as one bolt hold not lining up. It now seems like very good quality and doesn't make any noises when shifting. I expect it to out last my vehicle even after putting it through the ringer. I do, however, recommend changing out the shifter bushing. I replaced it with one of those Circuit Sport ones, but I am sure an OEM will do just fine. FYI, I do have the generic eBay short shifter v1 for comparison, it is also for sale.

nice thanks for all the info.

im confused though, auto to manual is the way to delete the dampener box? f*** i wish they would add that in the description.

Yes.

The way everyone else in the world who doesn't want to spend money just removes the line from the damper, and bends it over to the flex or whatever (it's been years since I've had a 4 cylinder in my car so I don't really remember, but you don't have to pay money for it).

Here is how I did my damper delete last week. exactly how Sommatt said.


I replaced my master and slave cylinders but while doing so, I stripped the connection between the hard line and master cylinder. I purchased the $40 cable but haven't put it on yet.

As far as the car goes, like someone else mentioned you should remove your clutch damper box while your at it. Just unbolt the hardlines from the master and the slave, with box attached, and replace with braided stainless line. It will make a noticable difference in the feel of the clutch and it makes it 10 times easier to bleed the system. You can get the stainless line for around $40 from Enjuku Racing.
