finally got around to pulling my broke trans out today,since this coming week my new one is ready to pick up, I had my options of 3.82 ,4.05 , or 4.45..i ended up going with the 4.05 its been fully rebuilt and has new has upgraded,..crush sleeves,diff bearings, and new forged straight cut gears,and most importantly a brand new quaffie lsd..
price was a little over 4k and I ended up getting free freight shipping that saved me a few hundred cause it was supposed to be done and here 2 weeks ago..
lol im getting good at pulling the trans took me about 3 hours completely by myself.
I attached a vid of the damage I didn't bother tearing it down, from the video if I had to guess spider gear let go.

Looks like someone isn't happy in the pics haha.


Who did the trans work?

 

x2 on the trans work. I didnt know someone had sets of straight cut gears for our transmissions

 

the quaife alone is 1100 to 1200 bucks and know one that i know makes straight cut gears and the one place i know that could said it would be over 5k for a custom gearset and if they did you would loose 5th

 

This smells of something that FMSR would sell to somebody

 

That price makes more sense, given that they would have to setup the program to cut the gears. Unless the OP is a transmission gearing engineer and has access to CAD and a 4 axis cnc

 

or 3D printed gears

 

In fairness to the company involved and myself,who is already second guessing the purchase,the company will remain nameless till the transmission is actually in my possession,i was told it will be at my local freight station to pickup friday,as soon as it is here its going in,old trans is out,and ill be going to the track the following week or 2,all i have left is rear window lexan to go in,and installing my traction bars,neither take very long,i was skeptical of the straight cut gears myself but was told another customer ordered them and couldnt finish paying,so we'll see!

 

until you get rid of the radials enjoy swapping transmissions

 

trust me,,the radials are going bye bye..next on the list

 

Is that because of the weight?

 

Radials induce wheel hop, slicks are more forgiving.
