Oh no its expensive when speaking about it , but ppg im seeing is the only good way . Some frankstien tremec that really is not tested in our cars doesnt sound like a better option . I would rather spend the money on a purpose built transmission that could hold everything I throw at it , but no company is going to build one for a car that so few drag race for very cheap.
well you're right.
But doesn't everything go through a test, QA, then production state, just like PPG did?
And momentum lol, yeah I forgot the synchros, throw another (don't even know) 5K? Totaling almost 15K. Still no tranny together. You now have to put it together.
And boostedf22c, the numbers you see I posted, those numbers are the numbers I got about 8 months ago or so. Those are the numbers I got. If they are underpriced, well then that's good, I'll take 'em
And yeah theres a whole bunch of stuff missing which I didn't finish researching.

The difference between shifting a tremec and an S2k trans with PPG gears is like night and day. The tremec would feel like you are rowing a boat compared.

This thread was created to gauge interest on a cheaper solution for a replacement gear set.
Obviously when you start talking adapter plates, different trans, etc. the options are endless, and expensive

Explain exactly your comparison here. I haven't rowed a boat in a while, neither have I shifted a PPG trans lol.

You could do the same comparison with a stock mustang and s2000. Go drive both, and tell me which trans feels better.

EDIT: The poster does state this: "I was having a discussion with someone a few days ago about a transmission solution for the s2000 platform"
Soo it doesn't hurt to throw other possible solutions as well
To be quite honest the mustang feels better at this point. My s2k trans is broken.

I still say keep the s tranny and do something about the gears....but at a little better cost friendly amount.
Im open to any new ideas venomous I just remember friends with there 5.0 and tko trannys. They where good but not great , but if someone could get one to drop into my car for a good price I would prob get the old credit card out and go with it.
