Figured this transmission is going to be a project by itself, cleaning the outside, cleaning the clutch jam inside, new bearings, and plumbing for oil cooler hookups.

Out of a 2014 LS est 164k km encased in grease.
I've had this for nearly two years, needing a replacement for my current 2012 LS, with 205k km, that has damaged bearings. Input bearing is starting to get loud, 1st is developing some stick play, and 3rd/ 4th has always wined since buying the car at 147k km but either gears having no play. Shifting is still good, and crisp. Having since gone to a clutch masters stage 1 clutch with aluminum flywheel. shifts are near intuitive now.

Clutch masters aluminum flywheel with stage 1 clutch. Bite is slightly improved/ more progressive. Clutch pedal is heavier. Shifting feels easier on the transmission and is easier to rev match / predict rpm for a cleaner shift. Feels worlds better then the heavy clutch. And as a bonus getting first gear from a cold start in winter is now a non issue blip the throttle 200rpm and it's in

Oil cooling. I magine two 3/8" bulkhead flare fittings, one draw, two supply to input bearing and side bearings via drilling out the pressed in ball. Then crushing the pipes to meter oil will do the trick. As for exterior wise I have a aftermarket "transmission cooler" and am looking into a pump, filter, and some type of temperature relay setup.

Should have room to run a line to feed that there input bearing.
