Do yall know of anyone that can build transmissions for DSM's in the VA area.
besides Shep or TRE

 

So everyone here is running a stock trans? No one knows any place that builds trans

 

Patience, grasshopper.

 

hahah ^ funny guy

 

No, we usually just buy them.

 

True, I have a spare in my back room.

 

i can buy one from shep or tre but i would rather have someone closer in va do it if possible since 300 for hsiping sucks ass

 

my trans was built by ohsofastracing but thats not in va :-) good stuff though

 

I dont know if id trust anyone but shepracing to build a race tranny.... but thats a personal opinion. Im sure he might by stuff from TRE, but still.... shep knows his shit when it comes to tranny's, reason he builds his own. Your car being FWD i wouldnt worry about a built tranny yet. I know plenty of people with well over 500whp running stock tranny's. You have to be smart and remember that it's not bulletproof.

Granted now that you'll have the 2.3L there will be a bit more torque, but youll have more of a traction problem and axle breaking issue i think that something in the tranny.

My tranny is stock and i still plan on pull 1.8 60's or at least ill try

If it breaks fix it... if it's not broke... break it eventually

 

thats true nick but it has 180 thou on stock tranny. I could wait i could really use a paint job after the install of everything else. So when ya wanan put hte motor in?
so where do i get some stronger axles at?
