Thread: Time to start thinking trans upgrade

My auto trans is acting up longer than usual in the morning, goes in reverse no prob, then put in drive and it just dosen't move like not engaging. But if I put it in low it will go and 2nd too then nothing on D till it decides to. Once it does then it's fine. Same thing on the way home 8 hours later. Fluid looks good, and looks to be at very near the right level.

I always figured that at some point i'd put in a manual trans, but that may be a big job to convert over and to have all the pieces! I know it will be so much more fun! Guess I will need to start using the search to find the bits i will need and the best trans.

I guess any SR20 trans will work, how can you tell if it's a limited slip?

im not sure how to by looking at the tranny itself but i know if its installed, lift the car up enough in the front to lift the front wheels off the ground. and then rotate one of the wheels, if the wheel on the opposite side rotates in the same direction as the other, its a LSD tranny. just my 0.02
