ok I opened up the transmission. baaad news, n im pretty pissed cuz of how much I paid for this "gsr " trans. ok let me tell you guys about when I first bought this trans. the guy said its a gsr rebuilt trans, but it had no vin code on it. ya it was stupid to trust the guy. so I install this trans and a loud grumbling noise occurs. take the trans out. go to take it apart and notice the snap ring is already off the bearing, bad sign. so I split the bell housing and I hear something like glass shattering! so im like WTF! I look and the freaking bearing that was suppose to have the snap ring on shattered into pieces of shrapnel!
well do you guys thing that's the cause of the problem? I think so . but that's not all.
this guy also said he has a rebuilt LS trans for like 600. I said no cuz I want the gsr. now that I have the gsr open I count the teeth n turns out I have the LS final drive, 3rd 4th and 5 Ls gear
so dam retarded, I pay thinking its a gsr but its got the dam LS guts inside.
I had to vent a bit. no use contacting this guy, I bought this trans almost 6 months ago. moral of story, don't trust any seller, and if you do want to purchase a tranny, I suggest taking it apart in front of the seller so you know hes not full of shit. if the trans is legit then the seller shouldn't worry and you would buy the trans anyways right?
ok I should have pics posted soon of the bearing and gears so I can get an opinion on the teeth and what not. I checked the other bearings, they spin free, smooth and quiet. so the bearings should be good right?
btw I installed a new fidanza flywheel and exedy stage 2 clutch kit. new throw out bearing as well.
I just took the main and counter shafts out. counted the teeth on all the gears. it a whole ls trans. Total BS. im thinking of just fixing the issue with this trans and selling it. this was not the trans I wanted.
