I have a couple transmissions here. One I know lost 3rd and 4th. The other was completely fine(looking at the friction materials and steels). If someone is in the area looking for a rebuilt trans... I have no problem building it LAN's new kit. Him and I have been speaking about this for a little while now and I am glad it is finally out in the open

I got in the transfer clutch piston retaining plates. These are one of the points of failures common on the 4eat that usually aren't propperly dealt with. A retaining plate is the thing that holds the springs that dissengage the piston from a clutch pack. They usually don't have seals on them and are never included in seal or overhaul sets but in the 4eat the transfer clutch retaining plate does have seals. They have a bonded rubber seal with a large lip seal that goes bad and turns into a crunchy, blobby, cloggy mess especially suited for clogging fluid paths.

I have been continually frustrated since joining the network, due to never ending complaints regarding transmissions, without any proper diagnosis of reasons why, and fully detailed answers. Much of the evidence presented has pointed towards inferior overhaul procedures.
At long, long last, there is someone logically tackling the issue on a proper basis. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THOSE INVOLVED.

do you need any special tools besides the common hand tools? when will the kit be on the market?

The build does require a well equipped shop but that's neither here nor there since I'm not going to be selling kits to the general public. I'll be selling the fully built transmissions. I'll have a couple available in a few weeks.

Eh, you're imagining freight at the rates you get quoted though. Freight would be at the rates I get.
I don't imagine the built transmission will be put in as a mod by those who don't have money either. They will be bought by those with the money to put together nice cars and those who may not have money but have blown transmissions in which case they may really need to put the major expense on a credit card. Don't forget, while you live next to the two Toms not everyone here does. Quote:

Mike, will you be building the valve bodies as part of the kit or will you just include the parts for me to do it??

That's a pretty good idea actually. The valve body build is a pita and would probably test your patience beyond its limits. I think I will do that; I'll build the valve bodies and send them off with the rest of the parts to you.

I'm going to have 1 transmission with 3.9 gears rebuilt soon and one with the stock 3.545 gears. That 3.9 is probably going to be the only 3.9 I'm going to have available so who ever wants it should probably go ahead and reserve their place in line for it. After it's gone I expect to be keeping two 3.545's in stock.
I have a matching 3.9 r160 lsd rear. Of course this trans also matches up with the 3.9 r180 lsd rear used in most year STI's. |

lol, like et calculators ever even come close for us. anyway, the sub 10 second car will not be in the 500hp range. It will breathing alcohol at very high manifold pressures.
