Transmission Rebuild

Alright, im sick of paying people to put new syncros in my tranny. I have lots of experience with cars and my neighbor used to own a tranny shop...so i wanna borrow his tools and start doing my own tranny rebuilds. I know your probably gonna just say pay somoene to do it but i wanna try. Does anyone have any background in doing this or know of any guides/refrences that I can look off of? Thanks!

P.S. The syncros arent going because i cant shift...im runnin high 11s low 12s, and my friend is runnin 10.58...between the two of us we own 7 dsms....so lots of tranny work! thanks

Anyone?

there are lots of people running times faster then that on stock transmissions without any trouble.

so....... learn to shift :biggrin: if you want a trans that wont break have either team rip engineering or shep do a race rebuild for you.

get the Dogmission for only $4800 :)

The problem i am havign is my syncro for seccond keeps dieing....im not the only one with this problem as i do all or the repairs to my friends cars. I just want to know if anyone has any links or advice on rebuilding them. Im not looking to pay any more money as i now have the tools to rebuild the transmissions and i am not looking to purchase a new transmission. If anyone has any links or anything that would be great!.....BTW...My 92 TSI AWD was purchased new by my uncle and has been used for the sole purpose of drag racing since new....so its bound to have some worne tranny gears!

If the synchros keep dyning, something else is wrong. But back on topic, there used to be a vfaq from Dre for rebuilding turbo trannys. He used to break them very often and decided to learn how to do it. It should still be there.

Yeah thanks all...Iv found a couple threads on how to do it and im hedding to the garage now to give it a go...shouldnt be to bad since i have replaced differentials before....im hoping it will go alright...wish me luck!

hey can you post up or email me the links you found? im looking to rebuild mine soon since it was screwed when i bought it. i found the vfaq that tells you how to take it apart but it doesnt have directions to put it back together lol
