Glad to hear, now slap it all together and let us know how awsome that tranny is. I'd like to know....

I will. The transmission and converter should be here in 2 weeks. Waiting on the converter, it's totally custom.

The shop did the first road test today and the guy says it's a nightmare. His exact words were "it's too ****ing loud, the tires gave no grip, and it shifts really hard." Fine by me. I'll have it by Saturday.

lol. As long as it's not a daily driver, it sounds like the perfect car to me......

It's a daily driver. The reason the tires suck is because it's on stock 10 spokes and Walmart tires right now....lol

Ahhh, so that'll be the next upgrade then lol. Then the weak 28 spline stock axles would be next, then a swap from the T5 to and A5, by then you'll need more power again......

It just doesn't end, well, at least until the bank says "Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave".

The next upgrade is lightweight wheels, brakes, 5 lug, 31 or 33 spline gun drilled axles and rear disc conversion. Then it's all suspension. After everything else is done I will do the engine. Going with a Dart aluminum 363 stroker, Kaase P38 heads and a low psi turbo.

So after almost 3 weeks of constant adjustments, and labor costs, reverse gear on the brand new transmission is burnt out. I'm so pissed I can't see straight and Performance Automatic is playing **** **** games. Although it does sound amazing.
