So in case anyone was wondering the Zombie 914-6 is down for the winter but not by choice.
The transmission had a lose piece in the tail that punched through the case leaking all of it's oil. Anyone who has seen my threads or videos probably know I'm not easy on my car and so you can imagine how I was driving it not knowing the oil was gone. This destroyed the case of the transmission beyond repair unfortunately. So the Zombie has been parked in the garage and will be until a proper solution has been resolved. Haha I'm sure I won't be getting much sympathy but I thought it was only fair to update the bad since I was rubbing in all the good months ago! |

Yup, they dont work well when they are not built correctly; tighten large bolt on end to 80 ft/lb or it will drill through the tail cone in a glorious display.

I was thinking of watching you video and trying to do it myself but I just don't know if I have it in me! I'm thinking I could do it but I'd be mad at myself if I messed something up again haha! I'm having a guy do it that has done a tone of them and did my 930 trans back in 2001. |
