What Stage for Shep Tranny?

[Bunta]

I'm thinking about getting this done, I was just wondering which stage would be good for the daily driver, but every now and then a weekend car (if you know what i mean):D .

Well i was thinking either stage 2 or 3

for a daily driver a basic rebuild would be just fine, but if your gonna add power then stage 2 or 3 woudl probably be good.

If I had an AWD daily driver and wanted a nice tranny I would probably go with stage 2. Stage 1 might be enough, but with stage 2 you get new 3rd / 4th gears, shift rail and hub / sleeves for 3-4. For a couple hundred more dollars - I think that's worth it. If you don't have massive HP and don't drive aggressive 24 / 7, this should hold you over for a LONG time! But like I said, stage 1 is probably enough

The amount he drives his car is not as important as to HOW he drives his car. Even if he only plans to beat the shit out of it 1 weekend a month.. he would want to possibly consider a higher stage given the history of our transmissions.

The way I see it is, you can spend a couple hundred more now.. or you can spend the 895 + 80 + 80 again later.

How about you tell us something about the car which this tranny will be going into? Power goals? Modifications? Etc....

it cost me $97 for my first tranny shipped, the second time it cost over $100, this was throught UPS....no big deal, just shipping is a real bitch....

do the stage 2

Might as well get the bettter shift forks from stage 2.

The stock shift forks aren't weak if they're new. Unless you're making over 450whp or beat the everliving shit out of your car, or don't know how to drive, a plain old rebuild is fine. A Shep rebuild is most likely better than a new stock one.

I recently did the stage 2 and its fine more than enough

People keep telling me if you send in a good core, you get $300 off. Is that $300 off the listed price on the website??
