Ahh the ol g series has been good to me these past 5 or so years but a couple of weeks ago while lighting the tires off third gear merging onto the highway upon shifting into fourth all I could feel was the teeth being ripped off the gears. At first I thought I broke an axle but once I realized I had all the gears except fourth I knew what had been done. At least I drove it home and today I picked up the guts from another transmission so I decided tonight to take the gearbox out finally.

Enjoy my crappy cell phone pictures.






Yay carnage! 350 ft lbs of torque will do that.

Welcome to the ZOOM ZOOM BOOM club!
Given any thought to cryo-treating? I want to pick up a spare trans and have it done. The shop my brother works for has done it on their race/track cars (3 FC's) and have had great success.

They say duct tape and superglue fixes everything, but I don't think that applies here...
that's harsh though, not just a few teeth, but all of em!!!!

heh.hehehe...heheh...

Very nice.
Was that a stock G series transmission?

Indeed it was. Treated me well she did. Im just hoping it dosent happen again once its back in.

Anyone know if fifth gear in the gs mx-3 is a taller gear than fifth in the protege lx transmission?

323GTX?
