Thought of an interesting topic---has anybody put a beefed up bus or t1 trans in the teener----

I loved the gear spacing on my old superbug--and first gear for my car,,well,,,sucks ass--and second is too tall for a good start off--

Would rather spend 650 bucks on a pro-streeter WITH a rhino case and super diff than thousands upgrading my 901--

Sand rail mid engine cable shifter should be able to be adapted rather easily and the trans install is a non-event...

What you think???? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

TC--you would not want me to kiss and tell would you???

736- I know kennedy makes the components very cheap for this kind of swap--not much to it--I am REALLY thinking about this.

I already have an early style tranny--IRS, with the dual removable side plates--I could swap the ring gear in about 1/2 hour.

Cable shifter is about 150-250 bucks complete--

Wow, a true H pattern shift!!!

Plus with the rhino case--125 clams--super diff--110 clams and all the gear ratios I could possibly need for another 200 clams--AND a choice, a real choice of several ring and pinion combos!!!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)

And these puppies are proven to hold 400+ ponies when the 3rd and 4th gear sets are welded to the shaft--hmmmmm

About 25 lbs lighter--hmmmm---easily make 65 mph in first at 6500k---hmmmmm

Synchro problems pretty much tossed out the window..hmmmmmm

This is a truely worthwhile expenditure for my poor broke ass..hmmmmm

Yep, I made the decision--gonna do it!!!!

My friends chide me as to why I hang on to car stuff--like a '69 model IRS bug trans---for YEARS---and know I am edified! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)
