Goodhart's budget beater 1g

[goodhart]

Well, I spent the afternoon at Tachyon's having him attempt to show me about 1g gearboxes. The one I've posted about earlier in the thread was not quite what it was supposed to be, a BM trans with billet shift forks and an LSD insert (had neither) but it still looked absolutely mint so I'm very happy with what I got.


Tachyon's Kitchen!



Gears and synchros looked great!




Here's how clean the inside of it was, Paul figured it must have had very frequent fluid changes - I agree. Even the speedo gear was nice and new looking not all brittle and yellow like another trans we had taken apart had earlier.

According to craigslist/forums/other for sale ads, just about every trans is a 'shep stage 3'. I believe about 5% of them - usually can't prove it with any sort of paperwork, just 'the dude i bought it from said the dude he bought it from said...' Right.

Got one of these in the mail today, little shift stopper device thing from steve93talon on tuners. Feels pretty good on the workbench anyways!
