Bad things tend to happen. Also, these transmissions are NOT fun to take apart. Im pretty mechanically inclined (its my job) but I'll be honest..I should have paid someone to do this lol

The only guy in the world who needs a fully race built transmission in an otherwise stock car. LOL

I picked up all new shift forks from Hanlon Motorsports. They are waaaaaay stronger than stock and were not very $$$. I believe Bob was the owners name. Super cool people and they stated they have never heard of one of theirs breaking.

My 3650 1-2 synchronizer is on the way out the door from drag racing a somewhat stock car.
