Gearing worries me, I want my tranny to stay alive! Albins has better gear ratios than PPG gears. Both are out of my ballpark anyway.

Yeah its a tough pill to swallow for a tranny build but I want this car to last the long haul. These are some rough estimates I put together not including finding another used donor tranny and labor install.
ALBINS Gears = 3850
TSX 5th Gears 60+70 = 130
Sleeves & 1-6 Synchros = 825
Torco Trans fluid 20x5 = 100
MTEC Spring
TOTAL = 4915 + s&h
OPTIONAL: 4.76/4.38FD $1070
OPTIOANL: QUAFIE LSD $875ish
Things really get out of hand when you throw a Twin Disk in there along with EM1 CMC/Hybrid cables.
All in good time though .. hopefully this stock tranny holds up a little longer
:wow::ohnoes: That's nuts. Any reason why you haven't looked into PPG gears?Quote:

FR < BoostJunkyz lol Nice build man. I would def do some more reasearch. I think you can get away with running just ppg or albins 3-4 and get tsx 6 and just get some ep3 or base rsx 1,2 and 5. They are pretty long.
I want Albins too

Yeah I've done a ton of research and I'd be more at ease with the Albins 1-4 and FD.
I haven't posted my updates in here yet since all the parts are sitting at home waiting to be installed.
How is fort bragg treating you?
It is alright once you get out of FayetteNam .. I live like 32miles away from post so I like the country area I'm at.
The Mountains are a few hours drive (Tail of the Dragon) and the coast (Myrtle Beach and Wilmington) is even shorter.
I'm a Sailor so I am partial to being stationed by the water but I don't mind being land locked .. haha
OH I found a site that sells Feels front bumper and other exterior accents :)
