New transmission in the car, I will be running either this week or next week to get the first set of slips for the season. Weather has just started to clear up out here. I hope it holds out

What's up with the new trans?

WannaBeGearHead

His OD broke so he did a little rebuild on it.

Turns out the "stock trans with 47k on it" that I got when I did the swap was really a heavily modified/molested trans from some sort of forced induction car that the guy sold before it let go on him. When I pulled it apart, it had a mix-match catastrophe of a shift kit, screwed up valve body with pieces of rubber stuck in the passages, smoked clutches, smoked OD band, metal shavings, a couple helicoils, and some other misc. crap done to it.

Long story short, I picked up a new transmission and installed some internal upgrades, did a shift kit, and bolted it up last weekend. It feels like a whole new car. Now I have a spare case that is basically useless other than doing mock-ups and stuff......but at least the car is back in action and feels stronger than ever!

kugzgt

this was my first run of the season. last year i managed a 13.5@103

naturally aspirated, no nitrous yet, stock pi heads, mhs stage 2 cams, lts, o/r h, flows, 5spd, 3.55s, sumitomo 315s

AYEOH5.0

could dip into the 12's if you get that 60' down.

edit: just noticed its cecil. thats a far *** drive for you isnt it?

kugzgt

2.5 hours lol. Well worth the drive

mrtstang

That's not bad at all Kugz, considering your 60ft. Shoot if you can pull a 13.3 @ 106 with those Sumitomos (i had those before my 555R's) then that makes me wonder if if i could touch the 12's with my stickier tires and better gearing.

I'll know really soon.

WhiteFoxGT

he came from allentown, and purpleicegt came down from CT last night to run at cecil lol. We do work
