Built Transmission
 

Anyone on here have any helpful information on who builds bulletproof manual transmission for our cars. I've been reading when building a Z either with F.I. or road racing purposes the synchro's, bending of shift forks etc... happen.

Do the clutch and trans fluid and you should be fine. These trannies are pretty stout.

:iagree:

Actually, I haven't heard of anyone losing a transmission that wasn't a factory defect in some way.

So whats the best option if your tranny is grinding (say going in 5th), do you just buy a new tranny from Nissan or buy OEM syncros and rebuild it?

Are you still running OEM fluid? If so, try changing that out first. Will make a pretty big difference.

Thanks

Ya it was really bad and I did the fluid change made a big difference. But sometimes its just a pain in the a$$ to get it in fifth under WOT. Just something I am thinking about for later if it breaks.

Rebuilding a transmission is (was) not a difficult job but it nearly always involves special tools. Back in The Good Old Days, we could buy kits with a full set of synchros/bearings/seals/&c and the special tools. A modern 6-speed tranny is probably a lot more complicated than the toploaders and such that I worked on so it may be a job for a pro nowadays.

Nice way to get a 2jzgte transmission to the VQ motor

Actually, isn't that the kit to put a 370z tranny on a 2jZ? Plus, the last time I priced a Supra Getrag it was damn near $6k.

Also, thanks for that. I've got a 2jzge powered vehicle and that looks like something I might need to buy.

You are correct with the 2JZ motor attaching to the 370 trans. I didn't read it carefully. 6 grand for a transmission fml

OS Giken sells gears

yeah and that's 6k not even counting a clutch. On top of that what kind of issues are you going to run into with the car mating a mechanical Getrag v160 trans up to an all electronically monitored car?

You know they are expensive when price just says, 'Call':rofl2:
