So in case anyone was wondering the Zombie 914-6 is down for the winter but not by choice.
The transmission had a lose piece in the tail that punched through the case leaking all of it's oil. Anyone who has seen my threads or videos probably know I'm not easy on my car and so you can imagine how I was driving it not knowing the oil was gone. This destroyed the case of the transmission beyond repair unfortunately. So the Zombie has been parked in the garage and will be until a proper solution has been resolved. Haha I'm sure I won't be getting much sympathy but I thought it was only fair to update the bad since I was rubbing in all the good months ago! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) Well that would be a good fix but I have all these 901's and parts. I'm going to rebuild this tranny but with a different case. I would just swap but I want my very tall 5th gear and all the new goodies I had put in it. |

Dean, might have a freshly rebuilt and converted 915 with a Velios? I think the old man was going to use it on the 3.2 before I discovered his engine was an early 'S' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I think it would have been fine if not for the lose bolt which was just a mechanic error. I still have lots of good stuff and it will not cost much to put it all back together. Just got to wait till after the holidays. |
