It's a pretty "elite" group with a rather high cost of admission don't you think? But we will have to teach John where reverse is

Well, eventually I'll run out of things to do to my car John, then you can start catching up with me. The new motor is on the stand right now. Just need to get it assembled and check some clearances The only thing after the motor I can think of to do is upgrade the rear axle. Found a Dana, but shipping would have killed me.
If you do get the trans get it torn down and see where you stand and go from there. Between Paul, Ian, and me I think we can get you a nicely built trans. |

Yes it is overpriced and it seems to be missing one very important part. The slave cylinder adapter. There is a guy on TGO that's been looking for that adapter for months now and can't find one. Flywheels are cheap, but you need the hydraulics also. I got my entire swap setup for $1000 shipped. _________________ Member of the "Elite T56 Club" , big brake club, and "burgundy" (not red or maroon) car owner.

Dan, you should make up 10-12 of those adaptors, and sell them.
I know you are a niche market kind of guy. |

Not a bad idea, but now I only have my manual mill. Hard to make them that way. Would take too long to be profitable that way. But keep up the good ideas please!!! _________________ Member of the "Elite T56 Club" , big brake club, and "burgundy" (not red or maroon) car owner.

Ahh. Guess I wouldn't know about that by running the LS1 style which is what that picture looked like to me. _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

Not a bad price but it's a v6 T-5 and you don't want that unless you've got a v6.
They are pretty easy to do. Slight learning curve on the shift rail assembly and stuff but the mainshaft is the same basic concept. _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

Couldn't you make this out of sheetmetal or angle iron? Doesn't seem like it needs to be made from aluminum. |
