Transmission Swap Questions ?
 

Ok i was wonderin if this sounds like a good deal and what should be done and what is an option

I was on the phone with a well known vender and i told them i needed to do a tranny swap.


He said 350 for the swap but then i should do an aglgnment considering he has to drop the lower frame of the car or somthing like that and also resurface the flywheel.

Now that being said i was wondering if its a definite need to be done becasue of funds and stuff ?

My car is a 2002 civic 5speed 4dr non vtec

Also i need a new clutch does anyone know where to get one?

he said the price for resurfacing the flywheel would be $100 and allignment has to be done which is $100

sorry left that part out

thats realllllyyyy expensive for the resurfacing and the alignment... An alignment should be no more than 70 bucks,normally ~50. Resurfacing a flywheel is usually 40-60$.

really eh ...mmm i have to think aobut that then how aobut the swap is that a good price ?

will i be able to drive the car after the swap is done without the alignment?

Yeah, but you'll want to bring it to an alignment shop asap. As for the cost of swapping the tranny, i think thats a bit much too but i have no idea what shops would charge. Cant see it being more than 3-4 hours, so if shop rate is 70$ an hour, that would be 210-280$

When i did my clutch, i did NOT do alignment after, just eye ball it and count the threads of caster arms. Came out decent.

swap price is about right. Usually range from 200-400$ depending on the shop.
For flywheel resurfacing, it is needed or atleast highly recommended if you swap you clutch. price is a little steep for alignment and resurfacing.
Otherwise it all seems right.
