act smooth spline hub

[daniel Dee]

Can ACT replace the spline center for you???
Better the clutch than the transmission I guess.

[Jordan Kruger]

I purchased the clutch more than 90days ago 

and I honestly wont waste my time with used shit anymore..   Im going new whenever I can. all at once.     Its expensive, thats for sure.. But Ive got one hell of a goody-bag coming from RTM racing   

My goal is to get this thing dialed for the track.   (seems like thats always been the goal)  But Im going balls to the wall with the probjct car till next summer.

Im hoping youll be able to see it run good numbers at mission.           Im not a guy to stand there with my hood open..  but Im really happy with my engine bay..    I think custom charge piping can change the look of a motor a lot.  A good wiring tuck is nice too.  Anything Ive bought or made under the hood is welded aluminum to keep the same look as the engine bay once had with its large SMIM.    I also like minimal colors under the hood.    Im not ballin outta control, so the industrial look is easier to accomplish than chrome     
How can the car be a show car when you need a bottle of every fluid and tools in the back..... " just in case "    lol

and I still dont have a fire extinguisher..  and apparently they tend to burn well.

in my case, the fire will start at the clutch disk...  lol

I was able to finally get around to looking at the trans a little closer and the input shaft is fairly worn, and as brett suggested, itll have to be done. Thing is...   its a PITA. Costly too if you dont do it yourself, and Im no tranny tech.   Anyone have anything fresh? maybe a few goodies built in?

anyone have a sheptrans or have experience buying one?

[John Hartman]

Phils is still kicking around possibly?

phils sold just recently

rob, that happened back in 08! lol

if the trans is already out, that's half the battle at least (vs paying to have it re/re).  

RG can open up your trans and install any new parts however be prepared for additional work if you are replacing damaged parts.  depending on the needed parts, it can take 1-2 weeks (or longer) for parts to come in from Mitsu.  

you may also want to consider a 4spider center diff ($500) if you launch quite often - i *think* we had a new 4spider at the shop.  if the input shaft is damaged, you could always do an evo3 1st gear upgrade... and 3-4  

Shep does quality work and i would chose them over Jacks or others.  Magnus is in Canada but they can be slow at times as its a 2-3 man shop - it took them forever to deliver some parts for Zach's motor.   Shep also have package rebuilds to keep the budget more foreseeable and on track... the down side is shipping but Sheps rates are pretty good if you ship within the USA.  

[Jordan Kruger]

I have a few different options, thats for sure.  Im willing to pay good money for a good tranny.  Its a key component to getting the power to the wheels..    however    In this case, I really want a step up...   to hit second easily and cleanly would be nice.     Im thinking evo gearing sounds rad..
Im going to have to get some pricing done if thats the case.

[andrew volcz]

evo3 1st gear requires the e3 input shaft as well.  its roughly 11 or 13% longer than stock. 

e3 3-4 have longer gears too, but are double synchro'd.
