you have to be pretty mechanically inclined to rebuild a tranny yourself, i would ride that thing till it dies, maybe just skip 2nd for DDing LOL, then call/email tick performance, they have full rebuilds for 1k flat.

I'd also add the billet keys and Steel shift fork at the bottom of the page.

I had to skip 2nd and hold the shifter very hard into reverse to keep it engaged before I had this rebuilt. It would go into 2nd but only when stopped.


Anyway I did need a new 2nd gear, new sliders and got the billet 3 4 keys and steel 3 4 shift fork.

Good luck to you.

yea thats the same issue i had, i basically gottta hold it in reverse and 2nd is a jerk, so why did u only get the billet 3 and 4 keys and shift fork....or is that how it just is?

ps. does your car shift 100x better after that as in like crispy and smooth without havin feel like your shiftin thru a jagged edge

These are the things required to upgrade the trans. Weak parts if you will. Yes the trans works like new now,
