The Evo's tranny, per the transmission repair shop, said that it's going to cost fucking $2k to repair in parts alone. Somehow 2nd gear is gone even though I was shifting from 3rd to 4th, granted I know nothing about transmissions but this is weird to me.

Shane and I are working on figuring it out and he's being really awesome and helpful.

TRE came up and I'm also thinking about doing a 5spd swap or finding another 6 speed. If any of you guys know of anyone that has one laying around, let me know.

sounds like a new tranny would almost be cheaper than repairing the broken one 2K just for parts?!?! thats crazy, are the a retributable shop? and do you trust them?

Might be time for a 2nd opinion, or just go straight to an Evo tranny specialist. I bet you could buy a working used 6-speed and have it fully rebuilt for less than $2k, that seems crazy.

I think I might do a 5 speed swap. I don't know, too many options/directions/variables for me to get my head around right now.

Shane and I were trying to figure out what all is needed to do a swap, I have yet to look into it.

Also the shop is reputable and what DB uses for all their builds. They do 5 speeds and DSM trannies for very little and do a good job.

The 6 speeds are spendy transmissions. Around $5k new. If your cluster gear got messed up the price goes right through the roof on the repair.

Best bet is to find a used 5 speed and have it rebuilt.

Check with Ron at RS too for transmissions, I swear he either has one or he knows someone with one for sale.

Good Luck!
