Ka24e transmission Refresh
How hard is it to refresh a Ka24e transmission yourself and should I use a kit like this?
https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...t=8676&jsn=849 or Is it better just to take it somewhere? |

Honestly depends what's wrong with it and why you're rebuilding. Just like an engine rebuild.
A pro transmission builder will do stuff like check all the metal for microscopic fractures, deburr all the gears, etc. and give you back a transmission that's better than new. But you can also just dive in and slap in new synchros in your home garage. I'm sure you've already youtubed it, but for an example of a pro rebuild: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OWI7kz5hCo vs. a home rebuild. Note that he still used a press! I don't think you can do it without a press. Also note that both he and the pro ended up having to order parts from the UAE, so it's not a weekend job. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opJ7trkonYU If you're good at 3d shape puzzles a manual transmission is straightforward. |

Noise when clutch pressed not in gear = Bad throw out bearing Noise when clutch is released and in neutral = Bad trans input bearing |

It seems like a lot of trans companies want a lot for labor and that's not including parts. |
