My 2nd and 3rd gear syncros were shot. Only problem was, my car is an early 90. So, they had to upgrade the 1st and 2nd gear shaft. Wich was an extra $280. I haven't really beat the piss outta of it yet. Keith said to wait at least 100 miles and change to some BG Syncro Shift, then go to town.
It was a night and day difference, I can actually shift as fast as I want to, going into 2nd or 3rd now. That was unheard of before in my car. You will not be dissapointed.
I have a '90 FWD.....the tranny needs to be rebuilt/replaced.....
should i goto BMTranny or T.R.E.? and why should i goto one over the other? what can i do to "beef" up the tranny? besides BG fluid and jap. spec forks and the LSD? (Qualiffe=very $$)

B&M is going to redo a tranny of mine also. B&M rebuilds alot of TRE trannies that weren't done right. Send a tranny to B&M & you'll have it back in a week or so.. send it to TRE & you'll get it back in a month or 6.
I got my trans done there. You cant beat the price and the turnaround time. They did Jeff Hill's trans and he's made like 40 NOS sub 10.5 second passes on it....good stuff!
Yeah, my 92 awd is starting to crunch in 2nd and sometimes 1st. My heart just sinks when i hear that . well how much does it cost to drop the tranny, ship a tranny from iowa to B&M (where are they?), and get my crunching to go way? OH, and it only takes about a week?? dang.
If you want quality work and quick turnaround I would highly recommend you go with BM Tranny. They rebuilt my tranny in a matter of hours ours with steel shift forks and 4 spider gear center diff., but I'm local to them though.
1. Remove excess stuff; clutch fork, trans mounts, reverse switch, shifter cable bracket, speedometer pulse generator (2nd gen only) and ground wire. If you don't want it leave it one the trans.
2. Make sure the trans is drained of all oil and place the trans inside of a couple trash bags. UPS won't accept it if it leaks oil. Tip the trans onto the end cover and allow the mystery quart of oil to drain out.
2a. DRAIN THE OIL!! UPS WILL NOT BUY YOU A NEW TRANS IF THE BOX FAILED FROM OIL CONTAMINATION OR FROM INADEQUATE PACKAGING SO DO YOUR BEST JOB AND I'LL DO MINE.
3. Ship the trans in a 24" x 24"x 24" double wall box. Boxes like this can be bought at most office supply stores or U-Haul / Ryder type places.
4. This is very important. I know this sounds like a PITA and it is but trust me, you do not want your trans to get damaged during shipping. It will take weeks to find out that UPS will not buy you a new trans or a single part that was damaged. Styrofoam peanuts will not support the weight of the trans and it will end up on the bottom of the box without proper protection so use something on the bottom.
5. Place a 24" x 24" piece of plywood in the bottom of the box and a bunch of bubble wrap or an old blanket on the bottom and sides to protect the transmission during shipping.
UP arrows might insure that it doesn't get mishandled during shipping.
A FWD transmission weighs 120 and an AWD weighs about 135 lbs and will cost about $60-80 for shipping. Don't forget to insure the trans for at least $1500.00
6. Please include your full name, where you want it shipped, phone numbers, email address and a description of what is wrong so I can have an idea on what I'm working on.
Has anyone tried their version on the Phantom Grip LSD or know anyone who has. I heard that their springs are much larger than the PG LSD so it is suppose to work better and last longer. Just curious?
You guys are all pussies, you should try doin your own trans work.
It's all overated......like gettin a blow job from a chic with a tongue ring, yeah it feels better, but it ain't that big of a deal.
I already did once and broke my diff again, and this time I decided to just send it out and get a waranty on it. And its alot easier than trying to hunt down all the parts. The parts are the expensive part anyways. Not much labor in ripping a tranny apart.

Dude that's not your fault, well it is in a way. Replacing a stock diff with a stock diff is like putting in a few extra rounds into the revolver during a game of Russian Roulette.
Im assuming you put in another stocker, if not disregard
Yeah, I put in another stock open diff. still trying to decide on what the hell to do with my turd. I still got it all ripped apart but not sure on what I want to do. I may do it myself, I don't know. Now look what you've done you got me all pissed again LOL Later
