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.
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

 

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.....

 

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.

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. 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
