to rebuild or not to rebuild???
well i just got my stage 2 shift kit in 2day n i must say it is awesome to drivebut then recieved sum bad news from the guys who did it... they said it was looking very tired n found a few metal shreads n yeh not to good.. they said it will last if you behave with it n not do too many burnouts n so on... like with ne thing else start thrashing it u start braking things..
i asked how much was a full performance rebuild along with a stage 2 shift kit he said $1500 which i thought was a fair price...
my trans now is perfect and i cant notice anything wrong with it no slipping wot so eva, ive neva had a problem with it.
do u guys reckon i shud go along with this.. also note that will likely to b happening early next year... or unless i find $1500 lying on the street sumwere
cheerz guys
booosted
I say if it aint broke, dont fix it!And as you said if you look after it will be fine
Power is measured in DECIBEL
How much did it cost? does it make a big difference off the line and thro the gears?
You Gon Ride or die?
Performance rebuild? clarify what exaclty they will be doing. For a normal rebuild. $1500 is still fair imo.

You have a VP, I'd expect the trans to be tired too. I'd wait until it starts to crap itself before a rebuild though. Like vn6pwr said, if it ain't broke. Tired isn't broken, but you have to watch it doesn't run any red lights.

it was a long list of stuff that i cant remeber now but it was goin to cost me $2000 but he gave me a bit of a discount :P... yeh it makes a big difference it holds the gears longer n easier, n shifts harder and quicker, havent reli pushed it yet cause im still running in the new lsd i got :P
For external use only
hahaha, aren't shift kits the best ^^ Did you get them to throw in a corvette servo piston aswell?
And yeah, as echoed above, don't get it rebuilt unless you have to. You'll get plenty of warning

of course i got the corvette servo :P... yeh dnt worry.. i know when a trans is about to go, i blew up my old trans in the vk
For external use only
haha, at least these things give you warning before they throw in the towel. The trans on my mazda went from hero to zero in just three shifts. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, nuteral... ... nothing. dangit.

Ahhh Yes, Ahhh Yes....
Why wait? if your planning on getting the rebuild may aswell get it done now... Youll do less damage to the box.... no point dragging it on....
If you planning on having it done, may aswell get it built tough as soon as, could save some money if you dont shagg more parts in the mean time.
$1500 will get you a manual though... just to think about it.

1. T5 V8 Bellhousing and Clutch fork assembly suit VP

The bits that wear out are going to be replaced anyway, why not get your money's worth out of it until it starts to go.
