straight cut gears mmmmm. sub'd for updates!

Im interested

Personally, I wouldn't mind them 1-4. But i'm also a car addict and don't care about drivability or noise, or anything for that matter. If it makes me quicker i'm all for it :twothumbs
Ok great thanks

I had a DSM AWD stage 3 trans with upgraded 3-4 synchros and Evo 1 st gear for my 90 Talon AWD

Never had a problem out of it and it worked up to the day I sold it when I decided to sell my car.

So I hope this comes through for you.

But not to rain on this great thread, but this is a Cobalt community, good luck trying to get people to commit to anything and then following through with it.

We have seen this same song played over and over, a bunch people say they want it and only a few commit when the time comes for fear of being the guinea pig.

They all want someone else to try it out first.

This is true, but that is why i'm sending MY transmission out there, paying for the first gear set MYSELF, testing it with MY own labor hours, and MY own tools. haha No, but I see what your saying bud, which is why i need at least 75 people or more on the "interested" list.

People who own cobalts are no cheaper than DSM guys. My buddy has a fully built 2g gsx and won't spend the extra 1k or so for a nice t3 turbo and manifold. Still runs the evo 3 and makes as much power as he used to? I don't get it. There are only a few who will ever pony up and shell out the cash for quality parts but those few will go fast in the end. Enuff said

Im intertested and Ill have a pocket full of money to play with come Dec.

That's what we like to hear!

Well no doubt I'm interested, but with that being said I probably would not buy the trans until mine dies and I would like to see him offer some kind of longer first gear (like the evo gear for the DSM trans).

in for price

sub'd for price.. interested in this

Just out of curiosity what would a longer first gear net you? I don't think it would do anything really imo. That can all be adjusted by the correct tire size at the track. If you want a longer gear just run a taller tire? You don't wanna go too tall tho you would loose a lot of power.
Thanks
Ok thanks guys

In for the price, as far as the longer first gear I wouldn't mind it to be a touch longer. I wouldn't want to run taller tires and gear up 2nd anymore than it is.

This is true but me and at least 15 other guys with high HP have no choice the transmission just wont hold the power for any length of time its a ticking bomb. Some of these guys are on 4th and 5th transmissions so they would be stupid not to upgrade. Now with all these guys running e85 i think we are gonna see alot of blown transmissions :thumbsdow I would be happy if it could hold 600whp reliably and i plan on getting the ZZp short block to make it bullet proof.

I'm on my 4th unit right now. The drive train engineering has a long way to go, if we're speaking about the F35, to catch up with the engine development on the eco tec platform. It's such a good motor and has amazing potential. It would be nice to finally be able to compliment it with a good solid trans

I'm definately interested to see how this goes. The only thing holding me back from putting on a bigger turbo on my car is the trans. I can't commit to being one of the first to buy the gearset if it does go through because I just purchased my first house and money is a little bit tighter now.

Sign me up.

Haha me too man. Well I just won't push the one I have for fear or more carnage.
Ok thanks

Bump for this. We need more people!

I'm interested!

Thanks!

i'd be down for an f23 tranny! but it's probably never gonna happen :(

Im interested. Is he going to put these together also. ?

I haven't talked to him about this yet. That's a good question tho! I'll let you know

Interested as well.

Intrest!
