As some know my transmission let go about a week ago mid 3rd gear pull so I'm currently looking at building the transmission. I figure its a perfect excuse to upgrade
Little info on my car and what I use it for. Car made 455 at DB this past fall and kind of hoping for a little more come summer, shooting for 500 but who knows if I'll get it that high. Car isn't exactly my daily driver but I will take it to work/class whenever its nice out and feel like having fun on the way there. I do like to beat on the car and plan on going to the track once or twice so the trans needs to be able to take some abuse. I'd also like to only buy a built tranny once so I was kind of thinking on going all out. It's sad think I could possibly spend more on a trans than I spent on the car, but you gotta pay to play. Right?
I was looking at the TRE stage 2.5 and 3, Shep 3 & 4, and the Jacks premium build.
Does anybody have one of these transmissions or has anybody bought a tranny through one of these 3 companies? I'd like to hear about how well the transmission has held up and satisfied you are with it and how ordering went.
Also is a welded diff really that bad of an idea? I don't ever take u-turns and don't plan on doing an auto x'ing with it, just race it at cedar/rock falls. I also realize it'll suck for parking but I figure that'll just be something I'll get used to like not having an idle motor.
But if it is really that bad of an idea throw out some opinions on the other options.
I'm not really set on anything yet so I'd like to hear some opinions and advice on which one you guys think I should go with.
Thanks in advance
