holy crap thanks for the catch on that. tried typing fast while i was in class so i didnt get caught on the phone lol. with the 4.45 you lose roughly 2 gallons per tank compared to stock......

the easiest thing to do is like these guys said use an lsj transmission. we have done quite a few f40s for the fiero guys that swap in v8s. few them surpassed 500whp with a blower and are taking a beating. so i have some ideas for the f35 im going to be playing with as soon as i get my hands on a case to mess with fnirst then the gear set.

4.45 is the only way to go without going to the 6 speed. Give me a call 412 915 3183. Im sending a pile of trans parts to John Powell for building 4.45 transmissions.

I bought the last sets of new 4.45 gears left in the USA

track 4.45 no doubt.
fuel mileage and performance on an LNF? 4.05
I am tempted to go back to 4.05 for cruising long distance, but the 4.45 track advantage is huge.

I want to get a ZFR soon, Im scared or blowing up my trans like this...

No need to do a turbo upgrade if you're scared to break stuff. You gotta pay to play! I knew it was gonna happen eventually. I'm not one bit mad. Haha. I'm glad it broke cause know I can get something good for it. Just another excuse to spend money.

But the 4.45 trans seems to be the consensus. Getting a hold of Mongorat after I get off work to see what's up with the Powell trans getting built soon...

Why are the 4.45 gears so rare? Do they come from a discontinued application?

4.45 would be good in your case Wert, you go to the 1/4 mile a lot. BTW you got any slips with your ZFR I'd like to see them! Still will be a chunk of cash to throw. I would go that route, but I drive my car a lot and long distances. I can't do 3-4k rpm at like 80mph on freeway ahhh the drone the drone.

I need one like now. Lol. I'm gonna be bumming rides until I get a replacement one. I would love to know a price of how much it is going to cost and what all I'd need. If it is over the top, I might just stick with a lsj tranny... Pm me Powell.

it's gonna be like 2.5k at least most likely AFAIK. LSJ is prob like 6-800. I found one for 600 with LSD last year.

Im not Scared to pay to play... I just dont like breaking my car...

I Guess, if I can just find a spare trans to add to the build list... Lol

2.5 K for a 4.45 or just get a 6 speed...

Wert How long until it blew up your trans?

So about 9 or 10 thousand miles ok

Wert was your tune aggresive as far as all boost kicking in instantly? Basically im gonna go with a boost ramp on this turbo to preserve my tranny? im actually still on stock clutch as well been hp tuned for 10k miles or so and no slipping

Wert842

iTrader: (3)

Tune had a mild boost ramp. I have a ky stage 3 clutch too.

I'm contemplating either getting a lsj trans or running a 4.45 trans. I would love to make the move to the 4.45 but seeing as how I drive it everyday during the spring, summer, and partial fall. I seem to think it would be way over the top and super aggressive. Could be just me though.

Anyone else running the 4.45 in a dd vehicle and loving it or hating it?

Probably was a cause. That clutch held the power but your tranny did not lol

Wert842

iTrader: (3)

Most likely. The clutch allowed the trans to take the beating. I knew it was gonna happen eventually though.

The 4.45 trans on the LNF is awesome. My friend has one. The gears arent THAT short. We arent talking STi retarded short gears here lol

Buy the 6 speed upgrade and get it cryo-treated if it already doesn't come that way. Or buy a used 5 speed in good condition and then have it cryo-treated.

KillaSS just got the 6 speed F40 upgrade and he loves it. You can message him about it if you have any questions.

I'd love to just jump on it and buy a 6 speed but the price is a bit out of the picture.

i wouldnt mind a set of 4.45 gears myself on Built LSJ car

iTrader: (3)

More than likely its going to be the route I go since it seems to be not much more than I can get a lsj tranny locally.

Suckers aren't cheap, that's for sure. Just throwing it out there.

If you get a used trans pay for it to be cryo treated. I don't trust anything used that's transmission related. lol
