SubyGl Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) The faithful old family suby is finally getting a bit tired out and its time to get the transmission taken care of now thats its got a fairly fresh 50k mile ea82. Im either looking for a shop in or around Salem OR that could rebuild it for a good price or a guide and parts list on how to do it my self, ive been reading quite a lot the past few hours but havent come up with much usefull info. It's a 4wd 5 sp manual d/r. Thanks for the help Edited November 21, 2011 by SubyGl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 search for 'governor shaft'. i am assuming you have an automatic that isnt shifting properly? Cleaning the governeor shaft is simple to try first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivantruckman Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 wow I would think it would ber cheaper to get a good used transmission from a salvage yard, they last forever, well i guess yours didnt, but they are pretty hardy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubyGl Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 unfortunately not, syncro's are nearly gone and there is quite a lot of play, not to mention the bearing whine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 It's not economical to rebuild them - it runs about $500+ in parts and the labor is pretty high - you need a press at the least and it would be helpful if you have experience rebuilding this sort of thing. If you find a shop that's willing to do it you are probably looking at no less than $1000 to have one rebuilt with new bearings, syncro's, seals, etc. Remember that it's not just a transmission - it's also a front diff, and a transfer case all in one unit - it's actually called a transaxle. When you consider what it would cost to have all three of those items rebuilt on a truck you understand why it's so costly. For under $200 you can get a good condition used transmission. Your choice.

SubyGl Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 eesh, didn't think it would be that much to rebuild it ourselves, i did know the trans axle stuff. I'm gonna guess Craigslist or eBay for transmissions? but what do i look for when picking one other than low ish miles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Typically junk yard or forum members actually. Ebay and craigslist rarely have the sort of transmission you are looking for. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukiru Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 http://www.car-part.com I got mine from the lower part of the state for under a hundred shipped to my door. 111k miles now that was a FWD but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
