I dont know yet. waiting on my adapter to be made

$2650 for the trans

clutch another $160

Hurst shifter $40

Driftshaft reweld/balance $100

So in reality i should be right around my budget of $3k

 

well let me know how the intall goes! coz I think I am interested in useing this tranny if I dont have to cut up the car to much.

 

jeremy lowe has the same trans as i do and he had to cut and modify his tunnel shifter area. The "long" shifter sits off to the side of the trans and it has to be modded. A small price to pay for awesomeness

 

so basicly you just have widen the hole for the shifter to the left?

 

Its a little more fab work than that but yeah

 

meaning? well have you installed the tranns yet?

 

not yet. still waiting on my adapter to be machined. I meant that the tunnel area where the shifter goes needs to be widen. In realiality is all very simple. T2 bell housing, starter, adapter, 26 spline disc, trans mount and a drifveshaft.

 

well were do you get those last 4 things? and can u post some good pics of the install when you do it?

 

I will. The adapter im making it. ACT has a 26 sline disc, trans mount im making, and the drive shaft. Its not a plug and play swap, but it not hard to do

 

yea dosent sound to bad.

 

Any word on this?

 

My T101a came in. Once the bellhousing comes in I will keep you up to date.

 

This is awesome! Now that I've got my t56 completely disassembled I'm wishing I had just sold it and gone this route instead

 

Any updates on this thread?

 

Yeup, works great! Second best thing I have done to the car, second to LS1 swap.

 

Sorry guys for not updates, but the trans is in and the car moves under it. Just got to get it tuned and we are in business. I drove it up and down the street and the straight cut gears sound like the "******* devil" singing. 13b street ported with a big turbo and a sequention box sound intense. Can wait to show you guys in car videos of me drifting with it.

Parts updates:

1. I got a Gforce bellhousing adapter for a TII to GM $400 and i also had my input shaft machined by them
2. Went with a clutch master 26 spline disc and their pressure plate $500
3. Driveshaftshop aluminum shaft with billet yoke $450

Im not at home right now for part numbers but if anyone needs this info i can supply it. Every part is available for purchase online and a every easy swap if you are able to make your own mounts for the trans and diff.

 

Well, recently a buddy of mine got me hyped up on these aftermarket transmissions. I may not end up being the first to do this for a drift car but i think that a good alternative to a pricey G-Force or Tex Racing trans would be a Muncie. The M21/M22 have decent enough ratios it looks like, but maybe for drifting a M20 type ratio might make more sense.

In any case, it looks like they can easily handle anywhere from 300-500 ft/lbs, just depends on the amount of grip you have, condition of the transmission and what not.

I may go this route though since you can pick one up from about $600-900 in good condition. Would probably make sense to go with a 26/32 spline set up to make it easier to upgrade to a 'real' racing transmission down the line. But for Pro-Am stuff, I think it's the way to go. Lose some weight and hopefully never worry about breaking another FC 5-Speed.

(I'll just leave this right here)

(^ the adapter is a bit pricey but a good alternative if you can't find a G-Force Adapter Plate)

 

no straight cut gears no dog engagement. I'm good.

 

Your dog is awesome. more pictures of it.

 

think it will sound like this?

 

Do you have the part number for the clutch you used? I can only find 5.5 and 7.25 multi discs that will work. If you have a single disc i'm interested please. How do you like your T-101?
