Are you still looking for one?

I am a machinist so making an adapter isn't much of a concern. But I would rather purchase the input shaft then to try and make one of those. What do they run?

Plus, the other trans is literally less then half the price. So if it is what I'm looking for, its well worth it.

But since they are both in Florida. I am keeping an eye on both.

Teddy. They are not made anymore and have not been in a while. The only way to find them is used.

If i recall correctly the input shaft was around $300.

If the other trans is a race trans i say go for it, but if it's a street trans it will suffer the same high RPM shifting problems as the factory trans.

It depends on what clutch, bellhousing, and adapter you are running. Call g-force and they can get you exactly what you need!

Let me know when you try and mount the starter, i have a few tips for you. Also, i would run a TII bellhousing.

13b-rx3 ,

can i ask ? how much you paid for the DN 4+1 liberty gearings ??
they looks really solid. do you think i can just order the gearings and get it install by myself , instead sending the whole tranny to liberty .

thanks

IIRC it was $2300ish. I also got a shifter, changed a couple ratios, and had the surface enhancement done. I didn't send the whole trans just the internals.
