TR6060 trans is your friend or Viper-spec T56.

There are plenty of guys making power on manual transmission, you just need to talk to them. From what I see a twin disk is a must at higher power levels, I'd say keep an eye out for a dogbox since you guys are putting quality parts in the cars.

Aaron unless I'm mistaken on this ^ we are also not looking to go rwd at this point either.
Dog box is a very real option also. I think for now unless finding a deal we are thinking jacks 2.2 had gears or evo gears and hoping someone has an opinion on that.

I had that trans in my car back in the day with the 4 spider and thing shifted really nice. With a twin disc I could shift at 8k like butter

I would look at TMZ as well.

I've looked at them all Tim or tmz stage 4 $3200. John stage 4 $2600. Jacks 2.2 $2600. I think Tim was maybe quoting shipping too idk. Why is jack saying evo 3 gears won't hold up and to get his 2.2hd but yet Tim and john sell evo 3 as stage 4 like jacks stage 3 and say they are fine?

[goodhart]

Evo 3 gears seem to be doing fine in John's Galant

[dsmghost]

Both the HD gears and evo3 gears are very strong, I recently read somewhere the evo3 gears are physically narrower than the HD gears which could lead you to believe they aren't as strong, there is tons of info on this subject available. I like the close ratio of the evo3 gears.

That's great info guys. I know it's a luxury to buy a built trans just didn't realize the burdon of picking what one or what company.

[goodhart]

Not real sure you can pick a wrong one. I've never really heard any bad things about any of them. I didn't have the best luck with my TRE, but it was a freak thing and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another from Jon if I needed one. Best thing to do is pick up the phone and talk to each of them and go with who you are most comfortable with.

[dsmreck]

so was this freak thing something that was ur fault or his? how did he react. i like johns personality and the times we have talked he really seems great. He also seems to do more of the old school stuff like detailing gears etc, just like an old engine builder who takes all the flash out of a head because it's the details that matter. prices seem fair, really the only thing i'd like to know is in comparison what trans will be better johns stage four or jack's 2.2hd for me. btw thanks goodhart and all who have contributed to this project thread. Bear with me on this one as the trans will be the most indecisive part of my build that I foresee.
