Since I’m new to the rotary world. Are there any companies out there that build up these transmissions?
for an example I sent my GTR transmission out and they did a full rebuild to a stage 3.

“Stage 3”…whatever that is, but it sounds awesome! The stock transmission is pretty robust unless you’re into clutch drops at 3k and even then something else might break first.
Again, reference those stickys and FAQs I mentioned in the other thread. Lots of good info. A simple gear oil change from what may still be from the factory could yield significant improvement.
