Now that is a chunk goodies right there! Is it Christmas already?

 

[rennurx]

Got my rebuilt trans back, 2700 dollars later.. after I was quoted $1300 >:-/
(Lunch not included haha)

Man, that sucks. Why the price jump?

You can get a new one for $2351. I know, I bought a few of them....

[rennurx]

I have no clue, but I won't be going back there.. and I looked and the cheapest I found was like 3200.. unless it was used, I found one for 2300.. but the guy did say the only bad part of the trans was the shift forks because there aluminum.. i wanna see if I can find a shop to make them steel...

 

[rennurx]

Broken shift forks and second gear...

 

[justin13703]

Holy crap that is a freaking nice pile of new parts you got there...

I remember when I got my lightweight steel flywheel, it almost made me sad to put it up in the transmission, they look so nice.

 

[Torspd]

Damn. That is some carnage. Had we ever had enough interest built to get stronger parts made, I bet they woukd steadily be on the market by now.

 

[rennurx]

That's why I'm hoping to find a place that will make them for me, if I can get them made for a decent price I'm sure others will be interested..

The problem with making parts for the transmission is that so few people out there can work on a manual transmission it would be hard to find anyone worth a damn to put them in for you.

It is a nightmare just getting professional mechanics to properly install and adjust the clutch.

But, if you can solve the syncro problem and have new forks ready to go in at the same time you might be on to something.

[rennurx]

Everyone keeps saying its the syncros but I have all of them and none of them seem to be torn up...

 

[Gadget]

It is not that they get torn up, they do not grip properly and lock the two gears speeds properly. That is why the gears grind.

G

 

[Torspd]

Could it be that the aluminum shift forks are bending slightly and thus making it where the syncros don't line up? Seems like a good possibility to me.

Rennurx, don't know if you have anyone lined up, but here is a start. www.rsgear.com

 

[rennurx]

The rest of my stuff came today! Thanks G! And dezod motor sports! Everything goes on/in on Saturday.. it'll be a long day!

 

[Torspd]

61 ft-lbs on the flywheel bolts. :top:

All of these parts, you are just about ready for that turbo setup.

 

[rennurx]

Thanks! I seen u posted that in another thread so I screen shot it.. lol. Any other torque spec I'm gonna need?

All I need is the turbo manifold/headers.. and I got a quote for $1000, if my trans wasn't way over quote I'd be turbo this weekend :-\

 

[Can XR]

Cant wait to see all those parts instilled and working. Your truck is going to haul ass
