Putting things back together is the best way to rebuild a tranny

What are your goals for the car?

The sucker behind my keyboard.

I'd like to fill Miller's shoes when he leaves.

Seriously though, it's a company car now and it 100% track & show so I want it to go as fast as is humanly possible while still using parts that our average customer can afford and install.

u gonna do the dif and torque convertor u sell?

i've been looking into trans stuff and u seem to have confidence in them, but its still new stuff and not proven itself yet.

just would like to see those items in action.

Sounds like a good plan. You better watch out if i get my car tuned, fuel pump fixed, new fuel filter, new upper manifold, and water injection.....

Well good luck with the rebuild...you need to take pics, lots and lots of pics. Then ill take them for my site

if you need Any pointers, just ask...

Ive been thru 2 trannies, and hope you only have to do it once.

Yes. It's going to get a 3500rpm stall and our new LSD. We have some of our input shafts and torque converters in action right now. One of our team members will be going down the same road I am with a complete rebuild using a host of WBS parts also.
