Sohc Atx
I have a 97 base and it"s having tranny problems so i figured it'll be easier to swap in another ATX than troubleshooting this one. I guess my question is does the stealth sohc ATX fit the 3000gt sohc? has anyone done the swap before? Its my DD so i'd like to get it fixed ASAP. Thanks

Re: Sohc Atx
SOHC or DOHC ATX transmissions for 3000GT's and Stealth's are the same thing. Only differences might be in the TCU between SOHC and DOHC for different shift points.

Re: Sohc Atx
there are some shops that will diagnose the problem for free so that you might stick with them to get the problem fixed through them.

Re: Sohc Atx
shizzat. i was thinking of manual/atx trannies being different by the flywheel and clutch difference, not sohc to dohc. my brain works too fast to filter. neva mind.

Re: Sohc Atx
Thanks guys. I found a shop to take it too. If all else fails I can get Seth(Toddrs93 on 3si) to rebuild it for me. Very cool guy

Re: Sohc Atx
The tech said i'd need a rebuild. Something about the clutch packs being bad. Car has 189k and this is the first trans rebuild/replace. $300 to put in a trans for me, $700 to rebuild, which would you say was the better choice? if anyone has a trans from an sohc stealth or GT pm me. thanks

Re: Sohc Atx
i would say rebuild. I don't think the price of a new transmission, plus shipment from a member here to you would be any lesser than the rebuild. but that's just my opinion.

Re: Sohc Atx
New (Used) Lower milage trans FTW.. If you get it rebuild I would make a large bet that when the crack it open the will "Find" more problems with it and It will end up costing you more money!

Re: Sohc Atx
If you know that the transmission you're looking at is good then I wouldn't rebuild. Jason said it best. Seven hundred for a rebuild isn't bad but they could find more problems, which is highly probable. You're better off with a different tranny.

Re: Sohc Atx
I'm gonna go against the others here, if its a reputable transmission shop I would personally opt for the rebuild. A rebuild kit should come with everything they would need, so there wouldn't be a reason for any extra problems. The problem with buying used parts is, no matter the mileage, you never know how it was treated or how long it will last. And being that our ATX transmissions are very delicate (aka weak when abused) that's not a risk I would want to take. With a rebuild it's like getting a brand new and unabused transmission.
It's also a risk that I didn't take when the ATX in my SL gave up. I ended up just converting it to 5-speed. Slightly more expensive than either of your options, much more time consuming, but more reliable not to mention faster and better on gas.

Re: Sohc Atx
yeah.. i wouldn't have bought my car if it didn't have stick. it would be worth it to go manual IMO. less messy parts than an auto.. and lighter! :-D

Re: Sohc Atx
I can't thank you guys enough for the help. well the shop is owned by my dad's buddy. i would buy all the parts from ipt and he would do the rebuild. I understand exactly what you mean Twisted and that makes alot of sense. if I don't choose either or, then I'll probably go with a manual conversion. I think Yogurt on 3si is selling a kit for $600. Again, i really appreciate the help. AF Rocks man
