I've looked into gear sets before for the Z. Slim pickin's. The people I talked to years ago, said it would be $$$$$ if they did it.

At least you got someone to talk to you.

True, They have went silent now since I asked for a billet input shaft. New tranny from Nissan is around 1800. Just the parts for an upgrade would be around 4 to 5k. That is not installed either. Most folks don't want to spend the 1800 for a new tranny. No way will they want to spend on just the upgraded gear set and synchro's.

What do you think install costs might be? $1500?

To install the gear sets? If the tranny is already out. I figure around $500 or so unless they have to do some machining. It's not hard to take a manual apart. Machining is a different story.

I've had the BorgWarner T10's, Super T10's and the Mopar Hemi trannies apart and swapped out the gear sets with either Nash or Liberty gear sets.

Maybe next step, I am taking my chances with $400 investment as the transmission labor will be free of charge

That's the name of the shop or what? I couldn't find anything based on that information

I am waiting to see the results of the DCT conversion as Seb is pretty close on completing the install on his Z.

It looks like a promising project, if it worked as a turn key solution. The price of used M4 DCT isn't that big, on the same level of a new manual transmission.

I thought the LevelTen package was only offered for the 7AT.

Yep looks like that's the case. My mistake he must be talking about something else
