Hey Lanzer, that's a tough one to swallow having to pull the trans twice.
If it's any consolation, the 2 IPS bearings are not expensive, but the labour sure will be.
I looked into buying a used gearbox to rebuild, but up here they are too expensive to be worth it.
Good luck.

Ouch.. that sucks...
Wasn't it the Mirage LS that has the better final drive? Back when I was thinking about swapping my car to manual I was going to build the tranny with that same final drive, and one of those phantom grip LSDs or a cheap Quaiffe if I could find one. But that plan is on the back burner for now. LOL
Good luck getting this sorted out. Im interested to see what you think of the Mirage gear if you end up swapping it.

i told you i would rebuild your tranny for you when i was in charleston 
time for an overhaul buddy...find yourself a hydraulic press, a bearing separator, and a some decent sized snap ring pliers...if all your synchros are good, just bearings is easy...you don't even have to disassemble the shafts...

it's so easy man...maybe i'm just really mechanically inclined, but when I do it, I can't imagine why anyone else couldn't...
For the LSD conversion...Ziggy knows the spec for our diffs, so it's just a phone call away, as our application hasn't been added to the webstore...either that or if Brent doesn't buy my spare converted LSD, it could find a new home...
I wish I could come down again, I could remove and rebuild your tranny in a day probably...2 days max...

I was emailing Ziggy a few months back about the LSD at the lower price , he was going to hook me up but then I never heard back from him.
What's the lifespan of this and it on the diff.? I realllllly don't wanna drop the trans for at least another 5 years/60,000 miles.
I'm sure the rebuild will be around 1k+ , so how much is a round trip ticket to miami crans ?

from buffalo, NY it would be like $130 each way...but that;s from tuesday till thursday...weekends are generally more expensive...
just bearings and seals, you're looking at like $200 in genuine parts.
if you have synchro and shifting issues, it would be a bit more depending on what you need...

Hmmm , I'm in such a bind. I am thinking about just swapping in a new trans , well used but working I mean. If I had an auto I could pick and choose but these manual trans 4g69s are very few and far between. Either they have over a 100k , aren't complete, or are 1500 bucks shipped. The rebuild might be the only way. Still brainstorming I guess.

i say rebuild it yourself i've been in the same situation as you ever since i got my RA. the rebuild is worth the time and effort, especially when you have someone to help you out and support you. i believe that you will learn so much from doing it and you will be in the same mindset as our good friend Garrett here.
i am doing the best i can to be able to make it to Trenton before Garrett leaves for the middle-east. hopefully we can take a look at everything that needs to be done. come the time he comes back, i hope we will be ready to finally get down to business with the long-awaited trans rebuild.
hope everything works out for the better. good luck my friend!
PS: if you need a parts list, Garrett actually sent me one and i can post it up on this thread if anyone wants to see. it comes complete with part numbers, prices and totals, etc.

So I found one with 60k and a 3 month warranty but I paid on the 10th and still hasn't even been shipped really getting ****ing pissed about this whole situation. I can't drive my car the way I like to because of the washing machine noises involved grrrr.
On a side note I need to make a for sale thread I have a lot of things that have just been sitting around and could use a good home...

Lol soooo , I got a call saying that my trans was here. Unfortunately it was for the 2.0 lancer and now they are sending me one from Ontario Canada with 32,000 miles to make up for it. Same prie and no added shipping. Although it took about a month for one to come in from the states so I figure ill have my trans in by Christmas lol. Our cars are magnets for this kinda thing. Newbs beware lol.
