New Beginnings: 1994 Eagle Talon TSi

[LingLing]

Got a call from Chad today because he found a tiny chip on a corner of my 4th gear. Thankfully he caught it before he pressed it on to the input shaft so I was able to return it.

I really can't say enough great things about Jack's. Both times that I have called them I have gotten a call back within 15 minutes and have spoken to Jack himself. He didn't hit me with a bunch of question to figure out if I was trying to screw him or not. All he said was, I'm really sorry about that. I'll ship one out to you today and you should see it in a few days. This is by far the best customer service I have ever received.

That's great to hear. I've always liked their website when it comes to info on the X drivetrain. If I need a rebuild then they'd be my first choice.

Good luck with the build, sounds like it'll be a beast.

I can tell you already that you won't be dissapointed with their products and/or customer service. Also, from what I can tell their prices are VERY fair, and are a great value.

Thanks! I'm hoping so. Not gonna throw up any power goals yet in fear of being a douche and jinxing myself. I'll just let the dyno graph do the talking.

This thing is coming along fast.
Good luck.

Hey you never mentioned anything about my customer service.....:rock2:

Have you figured out what clutch your using? I do have a starter ring gear if you need it.

Oh and FYI, that gear does not get pressed onto the shaft :)

Thanks Aaron. Yeah, I've been scraping by since I bought it so I can get this thing running. I know it'll be worth it though!

Oh yes! I would definitely recommend Chad to anyone that needs transmission work done. He does excellent work and provides VERY fair pricing. Plus he knows what he's talking about.

As far as as clutch goes I have been looking in to it but I can't decide what I should go with. What do you think would be a good fit? Again, I'm not putting up any power goals or estimates but I'm pretty confident that if I make as much power as this set up is built for I'll burn through a 6 puck pretty quick. Maybe a sprung 4-puck?

If ANYONE has any advice as to what direction I should consider please feel free to chime in.

Quartermaster twin disc

Quartermaster twin disc

I'm thinking I might need a twin disc to reliably handle the power. I asked Goodhart about his Exedy twin disc and he said it drives surprising nice for such an aggressive clutch. I don't care about the chatter associated with these. I just want the power to go to the ground.

For those who are running a twin disc setup, how's the pedal feel?

Hopefully he does a better job than on my sweet TCU!! lol.

I'd offer a hand, but I don't get down to mankato much.

Yeah, most people don't. lol Fortunately I've met a few guys down here that are familiar with DSM's that I can call if I ever need an immediate hand. I sure do miss living in the cities though.
