Transmission Rebuild or Swap

dsm_98 · 09-26-2005

Sticky rice refered me to you guys. My Transmission might of messed up on me. Now it won't go into gear so I don't really know what is going on anymore. So if you guys are willing to build me a racing transmission then I am willing to Bring it up to you guys or send it you guys. If you guys got any good ideas please let me know.

Shane, i've always rebuilt my trannies, gears- synchros- bearings, etc... Have you ever took apart a Shepherd tranny to reverse engineer what he actually does to it? As far as i know there are no special bullet-proof gears or shafts available for our trannies so what exactly does he do. I know TRE does shot-peening to surface strengthen them.

i was wondering if anyone could tell me the differance between a 6 bolt and a seven bolt, and i was wondering if the tranys for each are interchangable

6 bolt is the 1g motor. 7 bolt is the 2g motor. Im sure it doesnt matter what tranny you use, swapping a 6 bolt into a 2g is very common. However it does affect when you buy a flywheel. 1g flywheel 6 bolts, 2g flywheel 7 bolts.

False. "6 bolts" are from approximately 89-92.5 and "7 bolts" are from 92.5 - 94 (1G) & 95-99 (2G) with all dates being build-date based.
