Well idk about this summer. But yes the price will be very reasonable to people who know what these upgrades normally run. For others it's just going to be a large chunk of money they won't spend when the time finally comes.

My trans was shipped out this week and John told me they will be doing the installs of the gear sets initially. I'm not sure how long that will continue, it will most likely be up to the customer, but this all depends on how many people buy.

I'm getting exited about this are you?!?

Tell them to take their time building this thing up, we don't need them to rush a product only to get bad feed backs. So take all the time they need.

Looks like im going to be holding out for this then ZZP will most likely not have theirs anytime soon. Just hope it holds together until then.

Yeah i am interested as well since zzp is not ready with their trans yet.

Just picked up a new 0k non lsd trans for 750 shipped. I felt it was a bad idea to get LSD and blow it up 30k later due to lack of tougher internals.

Waiting for zzp to be ready with theirs and interested in hearing about Shep since i have been following his DSM and new evo for a long time.

Keep us posted and what going on with this.

He would have to pay a good chunk of cash to become a Vendor... I wouldn't think that'd be something on the top of his list just yet.

And him being here yet wouldn't really help us yet, either, if he hasn't even torn apart a trans. I could understand him getting on here if he/they were a few months into R&D. But not before the "project" even starts.

It always helps to have the designers input. Whether it be just a small amount of information or just a few thoughts. But yes when the project starts it will be more important.

"Please note that when purchasing a rebuilt transmission, a suitable core is required. We can send out boxes to you and have them picked for you. Please see "Inbound Shipping" above for more details."

It would be cool to see some Shep built Cobalt stuff, I obviously don't need one however.

Why don't you guys just swap to the Getrag F23 like the base models?

They have been holding 550-600whp for years without a hiccup, just a though, although I can see the appeal for the a plug and play solution.

Price seems very reasonable from the other thread at around $950.

There is a decent amount of modification needed to use the F23... and because they're shorter gears, which I do not want.
