WTB AISIN AR-5 Manual transmission.
« on: July 09, 2019, 09:31:50 AM »
My transmission was making horrible noises at a young age of 35k miles. I brought it to a shop to rebuild it but GM discontinued some of the bearings and I can’t get them second hand either. Anyone have a transmission for sale? The closer to 35k miles the better. Just want to get my baby back on the road after 4 years of on and off problems. This is the last piece of the puzzle.

Thank you all,
Johnny.

It's the same transmission as the first gen Colorados and H3, wonder if it is a case of looking up numbers through that platform.  With the kappa rear differential I read you can find shims if you search under the Cadillac diff part numbers, maybe it's a similar case with the trans on parts.

I'm planning on tearing down my AR5 with synchro issues and have yet to cross this bridge on finding replacement parts  :(

Finally. After 4 years of on and off my car runs good as new! And it only took a new engine, new turbo, new intercooler, new transmission, new rear end, new control arm, new brakes, new door panel, new shocks, and a new battery. Boy do I love this car..... heh.

Isn't there a paradox where the question is something like "if you replace all the parts on a car is it the same car?"
