The new monster
 

I just finished a transmission for someone that I'm almost to proud of to sell. Every thrust washer replaced by a bearing, every bushing out for a bearing, 7 plate coast clutch, 5 plate Direct, 6 gear planets in the forward and low/reverse. Ball bearing pump bearings. I may have to keep it for myself.....


Just wanted to brag, I'll try to get a few pictures posted (I took photos all the way up while I built it).

Now thats the right way :) looking forward to the PICS

Hurry now! We need about 10,000 more. Send bill and transmission to noelvm. :D :D
How much would it cost for all this good stuff?

This would be one on my next mods I would love to get done.

What do yo think the cost would be and how much power woud this bad boy handle now.

I need to start modding my tranny now:D

Now that's just what the doctor ordered. I am assuming it was an L trans? How much $$, what converter? Someone must be building a bad boy...

Who's building a bad boy.....:confused: :cool:

I'm assuming its all good, but...
 

I have absolutely no idea what any of that stuff Factory_Tech was talking about would actually do for me that my "stock" L trans doesn't do now. It barks second gear every time, has over 37,000 (hard) miles on it, and I've yet to have a problem.

Someone clue me in (seriously)?

Thanks, later...

Hey factory-tech,

Please send me info on the trannys!! mwglenn@aol.com

Sounds like that 11.2% drivetrain loss just went down a bit with all those ball bearings....

Factory_Tech, did you get my e-mail? I'm not sure if I got your address right.

Re: I'm assuming its all good, but...
 

Well since most of what he said was a different language to me I won't comment on all if it.

But I know what bearings are and how much easier they spin over bushings. So thats gotta be a plus in the tranny. Easier moving parts should mean less lost power to the rear wheels.

Captain & gforce: (sitting in a tree, K-I-S...sorry, jk) I guess I must just have been so flustered by all those numbers and gear talk that was being thrown around that I overlooked that part of the whole deal (probably the simplest of all).

Factory_Tech: If you wouldn't mind dumbing down what you said a little bit more, is the swapping of bearings for bushings etc the main difference between your work of art and a production L tranny...or did you do some other nasty stuff like make it a 5 speed auto etc? Thanks for the info...

In a nut shell. Less power loss, longer life, and the ability to handle huge HP. HP beyond anything L related posted in here.

Yea, but if you put all that behind a regular L engine, the tranny would probably run forever. :D :D and smooooothe. oooohhhh baby, babyyyyyy.

If in rebuilding a L tranny, you just replaced all the busings with berings you would have a really great tranny. I would pay just for a list by part number of each bushing and the replacement bering that was used.

Looks like Bob is getting his tranny.

Hmmm...wonder which Bob ;)
