kayzee Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hey Guys! The Transmission of my 89 CC just gave up. I'm not really sure if i'll bring the car to the mechanic for rebuild/swap or just do it by myself. I have extra auto transmission from my friend. How much do you guys think on the labor if I bring it the mechanic? Should I do the swap or just bring it to the mechanic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 They are heavy is all I'll say. You get an 88/89 to replace it with or the flatty tranny? The 88/89 has a different valve body from the 87, the stall on the 87 is lower and the torque convert is smaller and you need the flex plate with the small bolt pattern to use it too. I put an 87 tranny into an 88 and liked the lower stall speed. Just make sure you flush out all that old fluid and get a new cooler, a real one you can mount in front of the intercooler not that tiny piece of trash Mitsubishi put behind the airdam that thing sucks.

Shelby Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 the auto trans weights arround 200 lbs so you'l need a floor jack , but the cost of a jack is far less then paying to have it swap'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
