Alright guys i need to know a good place too....
 

Buy a swap from.

I put this here because im actually having transmission problems and i am kinda hoping someone will help me out and/or give me a place where they have bought a complete swap from or knows of a good site. I orginally posted in the Kill Stories section about me breaking my shifter, i would have posted there, but a certina jack ass got that thread closed.

A syncronizer is going out along with other prolems making it so i can't shift into any gear. So I droped by autozone to get some fluid because it was shifting a little hard and i ran it by the guy that was there and he also said it sounds like a syncronizer is going out (like i thought). So he looked up a new transmission from my car, out of curiosity and it was 1499.99. and i figured just to get a swap now rahter than wait till spring. Thats my story, please help! And sorry mods if you need to move this, i kinda need to know right away seeing how my main transportation is no longer working.

I hear www.osakajdmmotors.com has some great prices, but I don't know about service.

most people will recommend osaka you'll still need linkage and axles though as they dont supply them w/ swaps. also check if they include mounts...they probably dont

osaka :D

i've talked to them and they seemed great guys, but they didn't get my money yet. i think one of chris's(ChrisCantScate) friends had a swap from them and he was happy about the service. since your car is a manual i don't think you need a new shift linkage, or you can go buy one from a junker

thanks guys. i was looking at www.jdmclub.com they have pretty good prices, and there swap comes with everything.... but seeing how im gonna have to take a personal loan out since this is coming eariler than i had planned, im unsure about giving them my money... about how long do you think it will take to get the motor here?


BTW, im looking for a b18c

JDM club is the one that's run by Mark from honda society, right? If so, I've heard very good things about them back in the day.

yeah.. thats marks store. chris(4thgenlude prelude mod) sent you

Thanks guys! Any ideas on time to get it here?
















ps..Chris you were always my favorite:crazy: ;) :eek:

i havnt herd anyone disapointed with either store, best way to know how long shipping takes is to call them up

Will do. Thanks ill call them tomarow.

about 3 days

really? thats pretty good.

Alright, let me run this by you guys...
Im getting the b18c from here. it says at the top what it comes with "We offer a $50 cash referral bonus to you if you refer someone that buys a swap from us. We will match/beat most legitimate prices. All motors are UNDER 60,000 miles (typically 30,000-48,000). All motors come with a start-up warrantee. All swaps are complete with motor, tranny, ecu, mounts, wire loom, axles, and shift linkage unless other wise demanded or specified. We specialize in All JDM parts that you want. All the prices below are the start prices for the swaps. Swaps will vary some for newer motors, less mileage, exchange rate changes, etc. Also, all the prices on engines include FOB - Free On Board - which means shipping to the nearest port in US. All customs, port and freight from port to home/shop and any other fees are the responsibility of customers."

Can you guys think of anything else i should get? Im thinking about getting aloan for 5k. 3k goes to the engine, and ill need new exhast and 2 new muffles so i figured 200-300 for that. and i still have a little left over for misc. parts that i may need. Anything else you can think off, just go ahead and spout it off.

anyone?
