The shift fork is bent in mine and I am getting tired of it kicking out of 3rd. Its starting to need a clutch and I can't justify pulling the transmission now for the clutch and not replacing the trans. All it takes is money right?

So do I send my trans in and get it rebuilt or what? Thanks guys. I would call and ask them but I have a cold at the moment and have lost my voice. All they would hear is a squeek on the other side. Yeah...it makes me feel like a man.

I do that when looking for parts for the race car.

Thanks for all the help today Amber....My co-worker and I are pulling our transmissions out this weekend so they will ready to ship Monday.......


Also what clutch do you guys suggest and what about a lightweight flywheel??? are they worth it....i'm pushing mid 300 horse to the wheels right now and am planning a cam next year...nothing else really so I plan at being around 400 whp

Customer service is good, they seem a little swamped over there though. My tranny finally got released from customs, so Im happy now.

Sure wish I would have gotten free shipping, 470 bucks kinda hurts

Either they are a good company, or they have an employee that hacks the entire internet, because I have never read anything bad about them.

Thanks guys. I wish I could offer the international guys free shipping but customs and the shipping companys like to charge to much. Maybe if the price comes down one day i can.

I like the spec clutch. I know alot of guys don't but that is our choise and we have it in the street cars we have. Break it in properly and you won't have any problems.

The SAM car has a 4-speed in it.

AND I LOVE AMBER!! I bought a rebuild kit from them. Left a thrust washer out when putting it back together, and trashed 1st and 2nd gear. I took it up to amber, and watched Scott take apart my tranny in 10 minutes when it took me 2 weeks lol. No problems since.

I have the same thing as well.. I am hoping my car/tranny last till I get to the mainland. but I highly doubt it cause I still have 3 months and a cross country drive to go. I have talked to them a few times and like what I have heard from them.

Eric,

I will be back from NC tomorrow morning. I will check it for you and call you when i get in. Yes they are slow sometimes but it usually arrives in one piece unlike UPS and Fedex. I will talk with you tomorrow.
