Sorry dude, Budweiser and internet.
Well I blew out third in my car yesterday, slammed in another stocker but the new swap parts are at the border.

 

Oh damn, you to, sorry to hear. Seems to be a going theme, lets see who can break the most 3rd gears

from 2nd hand camaro drag racing experience, gforce doesn't know how to build a transmission. I'd never buy from them.

Liberty transmission (www.libertysgears.com) does - but they're slow. Long turnaround times.


I broke 3rd in my skyline trans once - and damaged it a 2nd time.
All transmissions suck, import ones especially.

I would love to go the T56 route in my car but I doubt anyone is up to the task of making it mate with my transfercase and clutch.

 

Hah, that's too easy. I have (5) 4 speeds now and climbing..lol..seriously tho the R154 is going in..Any one need misc FD tranny parts for shipping costs?

 

I could use two 3rd gears

I have a parts transmission you can have if your just looking for the gears

 

Well I opened up the transmission and there are a ton of pieces inside. 3rd gear was completely stripped as I had assumed. Also there was a chip on first gear but that might be related to all the pieces.

And another interesting thing that broke. Both my motor mount bolts have snapped lol. Might be related to the tranny breaking but hard to say. mmm, torque.

Listen for my third gear from the other day at the end of the vid clip..lol..

Thats exactly how my tranny sounded after the breaks hehe.

Well, good news, new tranny was just perfect again. All gears work and shift smooth, 5th gear syncro isn't broken either... yet... Gave it a few power pulls slowly to "break it in to my car", then took a 20 PSi pull like a champ in all gears

Excellent.. Mines good through 4th but I have to go slow into 5th. Should be going slow into 5th anyways..
