Scroll to the bottom where it says Patrick 2g mt overhaul. Download the .pdf file. You'll need the Adobe reader to view it. If you don't have it, download it. The manual is 6meg.
For parts, I got them at
http://www.teamrip.com and
http://www.mitsubishi-accessories.com under the OEM parts section. They were much cheaper than a dealer would sell them for. Free shipping too.
I changed:
1st and 2nd shift fork $25
2nd gear $100
1st gear synchro $18
2nd gear synchro assembly $70
1st/2nd hub and slider $95
2 synchro springs $7
3 synchro keys $7
1 end bearing $25
The prices are pretty close. If you want to estimate what the project will cost, go to that 2nd website link. They have all the pictures that you can view as well as the prices of each part.
As for tools, you definately need a puller to get the end bearings off. You won't get them off any other way. So say you need a press to get them back on, but we didn't. We just used a billet and a rubber hammer. Other tools,
Metric socket set
Torque wrench that goes up to 110 ft. lbs.
Hammer and a punch to get the little pins out.
Screwdriver to get bearing race(s) out.
Grease/ motor oil to lubricate during reassembly.
Parts washer/ cleaner
Clean work area
Permatex Ultra Gray sealer for reassembly. Do not use anything but this kind.
2.5 quarts of GM Syncrhomesh tranny oil
Plastic bags labeled to put individual parts in(DO THIS! It will make reassembly faster and more organized) After it's down for 2 or 3 weeks you'll forget what goes where.
When you take apart, there will be shims below the bearing races. Do not make the mistake i didn't and get them mixed up. Keep them with the proper shaft. I took me awhile to figure out which on went where. I had to do a squish test with solder.
I'd say that, if anyone takes their time with it, they could do this project. I'd do it again. It was my first time and I didn't think it was that bad. Now is a good time to change that clutch too.
