3800 my tranny is craping out!

[daturbosix]

ok, my trans is starting to slip and what not from dead stops and shifting really bad if the perf. shift isnt on. so i guess its time for a new one! now, seeing how untill this past september, ive only owned rear wheel drive muscle cars, i dont know shit about these trans-vers mount cars. where can i get a rebuilt trans? whats the price that i should expect to pay?

how about somthign more realistic. i dont race my car. its my daily driver. i dont need a $3200 transmision

 

[superchargedgp]

sorry for trying to save you money

 

[daturbosix]

i dont understand.....how do i save money? but you gotta admit, that intense-racing trans is expensive at $3200! thats more than a third of what my car is worth!

 

[sweetness]

Teh intense tranny will stand up to anything you throw at it. The reason it was suggested is there hasn't been a really good record around here with rebuilt trannies. They tend to poop out, and end up costing you more in the end. There is also a few DIY kits out there, if you feel you are mechanically inclined enough to handle to rebuild. As for a shop in the area, you know as many as i do...

[superchargedgp]

right but do it once and right, unlike me 3 trannys went to shit that itself would pay for intense one

 

[imported_snoop]

call ZZP. they have different set ups on trans. ones to fit you. i think they start at like $1600

 

[cacicgtp7]

[alexgtp]

Doesnt look like you need an all out racing trans......I would recomend a reputable tranny shop. Have it rebuilt with an extra clutch plate and a new transverse chain...GTPicter knows a good shop in SKOKIE (I think)....The guy knows trannies and im sure can hook you up FAIRLY....

Be cheaper and faster to pull the tranny youself....

Also, from what I have read, ZZP has been doing trans for a while. But they just havent made them on a mass scale for retail. If you call them up then they will probably help you. Also, if you go to www.GFWCperformance.com they have a rebuild kit right now, and I believe they will have their site updated within the next couple weeks with everything you can get. And of course, the Intense transmission as always, is available. Expect nothing but great quality in that transmission, but those other options are out there since you dont want a full race transmission.

 

[Royalgtp]

How on hear can put in new transmissions besides L2Speeds dad?

How much for a swap?

Ill probably need a intense one in about 5 months.

anyone know the name of this shop? or a number i can call them?

and how difficult is it to pull the trans myself? i have lots of experience motor/trans swaps and build-ups with older RWD muscle cars, just not the FWD cars. is this the deal with pulling the engine to get to the tranny?

 

[sr71_rgl]

The only guy on here I know of that has done trans swaps is GTPHALE but I think he's hung his wrenches up. I hit em up on IM a couple of weeks ago to see if he was interested in doing a trans swap for me but I'm assuming hes way too busy getting his cars ready for race season cuz he never got back to me. IM him and ask him whatever questions you have and he'll prolly get back to you with what you want to know. If you're looking for a inexpensive but good quality trans rebuild email Allowencer on ClugGP. GL either way and let us know how it goes.

 

[daturbosix]

ok, new question....i might be able to get a low mile trans out of a 2001 or 2, cant remember. but it doesnt have the diff or converter. can i use my old diff out of my '98 trans?or am i better off getting a new diff and converter?

 

[superchargedgp]

PICTOR and MYSELF did a tranny swap in my car

 

[superchargedgp]

use a new convertor

 

[Mike K]

Use a new converter.

For rebuilds, we are going to be offering a full rebuild with a Thrasher shift kit set on your stage of choice as well as a 30k tranny cooler and Raybestos clutches for $1900.00 installed.

No it's not an Intense transaxle but not everyone has the money for that either.
