Has anyone worked on there own transmission? I am getting ready to drop it after I found a part of a tooth stuck to the trash magnet. I noticed Team Rip sells parts for this so that shouldn't be hard to procure the parts to fix it. I have worked on many FWD/AWD dsm transmissions. But I have had a manual to give me specs and such.

Anyone got any tips on this? My main concern is when I split the case will something fall out that I don't know where it dropped from


Any input would be appreciated.

Please don't reply with the "Send it to (insert favorite transmission shop here)" that is not constructive to what I am trying to do.

 

I would think if you have seen one DSM trans that they can't be too different. All the diff trannies I have worked on worked the same way and had the same parts.. If you know your way around one and have a manual--go for it, can't hurt--its already broken!

 

Thanks, BTW does anyone know where I can get a digital version on the Factory Service Manual?

 

Yes there is, I got mine from myrollingroad.com, its a huge file but its got everything

 

Well I got my transmission apart and found my noises






Had some gremlins in the transmission with a hammer. This is the ring gear on the center diff there were between 6-8 teeth that had some kind of damage it was really weird also because to output shaft does not have a scratch on it. Shep Transmission hooked me up with a new gear. first thing I noticed about the new gear was that the leading edge of teeth have been radiused to take the sharp point off. I am thinking this should help with low speed trans noise and on the old gear there were a lot of edges missing






This transmission is ALOT easier to take apart than the old 1g/2g AWD transmissions

 

nice! how long did it take you?

 

It was cake took longer to get the transmission out

 

nice i wonder how hard it is to replace the synchros..

 

very nice if u made a how to that would be awesome i dont have much experience with transmissions and that would be helpful for many im sure

 

These transmissions are cake to work on, Remember there is no front diff in them like the dsm's since the evo front diff is in the t-case.

 

I'm going to attempt to do a write up when I rebuild mine here in a week or so. Let's keep this thread alive!

Can someone post or pm me (so I can host) the transmission dis-assembly/assembly pages of the Mitsu FSM?

 

thatd be sweet.. for simple rebuilds that dont need to get sent out

 

I got the manual PM your email addy

 

If you need any input or advise LMK.. I've rebuilt 3 of these now, going to do 2 more in a few weeks.

 

Here is a pic of my last 9 trans I had apart,



And of course the reason I had to pull it
