Are the front and rear diffs the same in the 6 speed and the 5, also what about the linkages and the shafts? Anyone know if anything other than the Trans itself is changed. Im thinking that why cant they give me an 04 Six speed.

CR

thoughts?

Default Re: They say its a "chipped" gear, I think bad bearing. Progressive wine gets louder with speed....

Does not change with gear, or clutch. they have allready swapped the rear diff for the same noise. ....Oh well take 2.

Default Are they replacing the whole tranny?

usually they'll try to just rebuild it (replace 1 or 2 gears and bearings) in which case, you'll be very hard pressed to get them to swap out the whole tranny. but good luck

Default that would be awesome... but I don't think that it is that simple is it?

I would assume that there would be major modification needed for that?

it will be a lot cheaper for them to replace the chipped gear a gaskets then drop a new tranny in.
