Esp the dead ones.

I got my tranny from the BC apart as well as my 2 parts trannys.

Verdict:
Evo shift forks are good.
Sliders are thrashed
Bearings are done for
Gears are trashed
All 3 center difs are done for.
One has 2nd gear that looks ok, but I don't want to risk it with high rpms.

So I'm going to have to send the center dif in as a core, and get a 4spider. Ordering 1-5th gears, new hub sliders and bearings.

This is expensive. OMG. wow.

TRE seems to have some things cheaper, and Jacks Transmissions has a few things cheaper.

Anyone doing their trannys themselves, any advice?

Take your time. If your not sure about something, research until you are. If you want it to last it's going to cost money.

The only thing I'm not too sure about is for the center dif.

I really don't want to do welded, esp if I want to DD it or take it on a trip. So I was thinking 4spider, just unsure on how well that'll hold up

The 4 spider should be just fine. I've never heard of anyone breaking one, have you?

Taking the tranny apart is pretty straight forward, if you are afraid you might forget where something goes or how it looks then take pictures as you go along for reference, and also label your parts with a good desciption of location or orientation. The only thing I was confused about reassembly was setting the preload shims and how to check them.

Thats why I just had Shep give me a stage 3; 4 Spider, Chromoly forks, etc.

I had a welded diff from shep and one that was welded by john at LSE, he welded the shafts together as well which I was inform was mostly done on high hp/tq cars 600+.

Welded diff from shep felt fine I actually liked it the one tougher welded one sucked as it was locked hardcore just getting in and out of the driveway the shep one not so bad.
