![]() ![]() I've read quite a bit about the rebuild, and most people say it's fairly easy. I've heard that the '05s may have brass-tipped shift forks rather than the plastic in the older ones, any truth to that? If not, are there aftermarket brass shift forks available? Are there any places online to buy a rebuild kit?, I haven't found any searching.Īlso, I'm an automotive technician by trade, but have absolutely no experience with rebuilding any kind of transmission. I researched a bit and found the Getrag F23 is rated at 155 ft-lbs torque!? That's barely above the stock Ecotec, is that number right? If it is worth upgrading, are they interchangeable with no modification? I live 15 miles from work, and can't be without my car while I'm trying to fabricate something, so I really do need it to be nearly identical. My question is, what are the differences between the F23 M86 and the F23 MG3? I know the MG3 used in the Saturn Vue is rated for about 400 lbs more GVWR (and presumably can handle a bit more torque), but is it even worth upgrading? I've got a supercharger on my car now, and plan on adding more power once I upgrade the internals, so there is a need for more strength wherever I can get it. That way I can use a hoist at work over the weekend and be sure that I can swap them and be all done in the time I have. Whatever it is, I'm going to buy a salvaged unit and rebuild it. ![]() I've got a problem with my '04 Cavalier's transaxle, pretty sure it's the synchros (it's much better if I double clutch).
