The transmission to me at first looked massive, then I realized that it had the front diff housing on it too

I've been following the thread with interest because when the tranny goes I want to replace with your prgraded tranny. I have 155,746 miles on the original tranny so I've been concerned as to when it will quit. When the tranny needs to be replaced does it all go dead at one time or do you start losing one gear or another until all gears go? I don't have the money to spend on replacing the tranny just because it will go bad at sometime in the future. Too many other projects and expenses. But I'd like to be prepared when it does go, if I have some warning and can arrange with one of the Tom's to do the installation. The car's a daily driver and can't sit for months waiting for a part. How many do you plan on keeping in stock and what kind of turn around time are you planning for shipping the tranny. Too bad your only doing one 3.90.

I'm going to keep one in stock as soon as I get caught up. If you want the 3.9 I can build it for you.
The style in which your tranny will go out can vary widely. It all depends on what burns out or clogs up worst first. Quote:

definetly interested when the time comes. I was hoping that the tranny would only lose a gear as a signal that it needed to be replaced that way I could drive it to one of the Toms, rather than a tow which would cost alot.

What's the advantage of the 3.9 or 4.44 over the 3.5XX that came from the factory? Won't the computer get confused with the different gearing?
Your work looks promising. I'd almost like to negociate a rock bottom price with someone selling an SVX with a bad tranny so that I could install this one and not have to worry about being stranded. Last edited by fasdude; 03-21-2007 at 12:34 PM. |

well as long as it is summer, I can loan you my green '92 to drive around while your's is getting the trans installed (shouldn't take more than a day if Mike is shipping a whole transmission to me) Unless you really want another SVX

I got the 3.9 transmssion to match up with an r180 rear end out of an 02-05 sti. The SVX uses an r160 rear end which seems plenty stout enough for a stock SVX but I got this for a supercharged car. In 06 the sti went to the 3.545 gear ratio the SVX uses so now I will be using an 07 sti rear end in my car and going back to 3.545 gears.
I prefer the 3.545 gear ratio. There are those who prefer higher gear ratios though. The higher the gear ratio the faster you will go through your gears, the more your transmission will be shifting, and the higher the rpm your cruise speed will be at. I hope that answers your question to your satisfaction. and now I would like to ask that all the prosayers and naysayers not jump in and give their opinions on gear ratios. There are plenty of threads on this network filled with gear ratio oppinions. This thread is on our performance transmission build. We can perform the same build on a 3.545, 3.9, 4.11, 4.44, and even do some mix and match and make an awd 3.7 if someone wants to pay for it--so opinions/debate on gear ratios really have nothing to do with our build or this thread Quote:

what an idea
This is a great idea. Kudos LAN for going through all the hard work and labor to find out how to make our cars last for another many years. I'm fortunate that I don't have any tranny problems yet (previous owner took good care of my car) and from my research here, I don't think I'm going to have any problems in the future(crosses fingers) . If something were to happen though, how would I go about getting one of these modern marvels into my car out here in the middle of the country? Do you know anyone who can install one out here? Just in case.
I need a vacation, but I didn't want an unplanned drive to NY to be it. |

Thanks, I don't know who the trustworthy mechanics are out there but surely there are 1 or 2? Given a complete transmission from us a good shop should be able to put it in or if you are a do it yourselfer you could put it in.

what would the cost of the trans be to come and pick it up at your shop, in miami, or tampa?
