Is your tranny feeling like this?
Send it to me and I will make it feel and perform like this! If your tranny is feeling its age, grinding, and popping out of gear I have the solution for you! If you have checked the other, outside of the tranny causes for these symptoms and found them to be ok then your tranny may be in need of a rebuild. Some outside of the tranny causes for some of your shifting woes: -Shifter bushings along the shift rod -Cone set screws -Tranny cable adjustment, shifter adjustment -Clutch, TO bearing, pressure plate -Engine and tranny mounts So, you have checked all of the above and it is still not working as it should. What do you do!? Send it to me! Repairs, modifications, conversions, you name it. I am interested in getting your car shifting correctly and lasting a long time while providing you with the greatest value and service. If you have questions I would be happy to help you. If you want to take pics of your gear stack and get an opinion feel free to contact me. Do you want to bring it by and have me take it apart to diagnose it? I will gladly do this, and for free. I will diagnose any tranny for no charge. I have a great stock of excellent used internal parts for much less than new with no loss in performance, as well as new, if you are interested. I have many different gear sets. I highly recommend all new main bearings; input shaft (x2), pinion shaft (x2) and differential (x2). I stock these bearing set at far less than retail. For shipping instructions, PM me. Any questions feel free to PM me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif) For more info, click the link to my web page in my sig below. Here is also a link to an excellent thread by DNHunt on how to rebuild the tranny if you want a basic overview http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=40904&st=0 |

Hey Mike,
The 5th for the stock /6 is actually a smaller gear than the ZD in the /4 901 so you would be experiencing higher fwy RPM. The reason for the higher RPM is that the /6 needs more cooling. As for making your box a 5spd that has a taller 1st and changed 2nd, bring lots o money! You will need, at the minimum, a 904 shaft ($1800 or more) so I can install a different 2nd on it ($$). Very tall 1st gears dont really exist, but I can put the tallest one on and that would be $$$ for the parts. The most cost effective way to make a taller box for your car would be to use stock 2nd-4th (can mess with them a little if you really want) and put a flipped H gear in 5th (about $500 for the gears). I'll look over the gear chart and see what I can come up with. |

Thanks I appreciate it. I know already it's going to be fun having that engine push me around (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif), but I love the idea of having all 5 gears available. Having said that I don't know if a 904 shaft is in the realm of near-term possibility in this economy. Like I said I have that 5th gear set from John on hand, and you described the exact reason I bought it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) So incorporating it into the rebuild is a must. Tell me what you think the most intelligent way to go is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
Thanks again!! Mike |
