Oh the joys of the 3s! I lost 2nd gear completely last night at Milan. Strange, cause 2nd was only slightly grinding, but going in quite smooth. I was having...
The transmissions are pretty easy to work on. A few sticky spots but not too bad. John Adams has a good write up on his site www.vr4stealth.com . Brett ...
Not doubting you alan, but ive read some pretty discouraging threads on forums I am sure you are aware of concerning lack off availability of trans parts,...
From what I've seen their have been some supply issue. A lot will depend on what wrong inside the transmission. I think Brett's thread has all the details on...
Thanks for the tip on Kormex. I just called them, and it's $1700 for a rebuild, but they don't have any in stock, so I'd have to ship mine there, have them ...
Actually, although I have done it in the past, I prefer not to do internal tranny work. However, I can remove and replace the tranny if you'd rather not...

Anyone remember that Turbo'd TA? http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~csemanso/Milan9.9/Milan8-12%20045.avi Hopefully that works, right-click, save as, for...
Even if it is "just a turbo'd LS1" it is still one bad mofo! That car was absolutely amazing. I swear I had an orgasm when that car took off on it's last run...
Not to take business away from anyone else, but I'd certainly recommend TRE. Jon has told me personally that he'll still try to help us MI guys with our...
I've actually talked to Jon already today. Sounds like a great deal. He recommended monkeywrenchracing to do the r&r. They work with tre regularly, and charge...
For parts I think Jeff V. determined that Mentor Mitch could order the trans parts direct from Japan. And TRE is a great resource, Just don't expect your trans...
I don't know if this helps or not but my little brother just had his eclipse transmission rebuilt (all the syncros and bearings and seals) by a local shop. I...
Alan, Thats like comparing apples and horses! Joe's turbo project was a nightmare and Jon doesn't like touching turbos (quit doing them many years ago). As I...
Do not get me wrong TRE does excellent work. I had heard they were slow with transmissions. I used Joe's turbos as an example and probably should have searched...
Yeah, they didn't do well with their turbo projects. They were good, but took to long. Since then they have gone to only trannies, and do them extremely...
I have been having trouble getting my car tuned in since I installed larger injectors to compliment the new larger turbos, intercoolers, and MAS. I checked my...

Hi, The mechanic that installed the brake lines is back in Michigan (I am now in Chicago), so that won't be too easy to get a hold of him, plus he was not one...
Yeah, I already wrote Phillip and Geoff, but I was wondering if there was anyone else. Phillip passed the token to Geoff, since Geoff carries more Porterfield...
