Here are some pics of a tranny I am building for a customer. This is a factory LSD box that is getting converted to side shift, with billet plate and billet bearing retainer, and AFMSX gears. The customer sent me a few stacks to harvest parts from and the MSX gears. One of the cores had one of the nicest 1st sliders I have ever found in a core which means he just saved a lot of $$ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Also, you may notice that the input shaft bearing in the int plate is of the better design with the steel cage, a very good part to have and was on one of the cores. So far, I only have these pics. The stacks, you may note the smaller gears, and the bling parts.

Yeah I don't know what you are talking about at all. But if you like it then I trust your judgement that it must be good. LOL Maybe sometime I can bring my car down to you and have to do some tranny work. Not this year though. I just want to drive already. |

He's probably already shortened his lifespan from all the cleaning solvents and tranny grease he absorbed through his biggest organ, his skin. Plus all the toxic fumes he's inhaled for pleasure or hobby.

looking very good. Be sure to post traction reports when it is done. I am very curious to know how well the 3.2 hooks up with 205's. (I am doing the same thing but just a stock 3.2) but with a 915.

I first want to say the Mike has been great to work with. If anyone needs a tranny done, I can't think of a better person to work with. I want you guys to dig up some jobs for the DR.
I installed the 3.2SS into the car last year and had 205/50 on deep sixes. I have never done a burn out in first as to not hand gernade the 901, but I have had the tires break loose in 2nd way too easy. I clearly needed more tire or LSD. I purchased a factory 914 box with a ZF and am hopefull that may do it. I do have a set of steel flares, and 9 x 16 and 8 x 16 fuchs on the shelf, but I haven't quite pulled the trigger on flaring the car. Once you do it, there is no turning back. This car came from Arizona and is absolutely rust free and straight. Other than the exhaust, it is such a sleeper as a narrow body, the kids in their mustangs never know what just happened to them. |

Man, with all the stuff going on in my life lately this has taken much longer than I would have wanted. All of the stuff is done to the gear box except for the LSD stuff that I need to research.
