Build it yourself. It's not hard!

Buy Carl Munroe's book.
Read it, do it, pat yourself on the back for a job done well.

PROTRANS in california

Dave Smith.. None better..


Dave and Darren have stuff no one else is doing. They make a lot of the trick parts others sell. http://www.protransracing.com/index.html

I have several of his trans, I've used them for years and no failure yet Knock on wood They build the best and latest state of the art trick race and street and strip trans John at CRT is probally very good, just like Lupo, any of the good guys should be able to build you a good piece I would buy a low low gear set and a billet drum also for your application along with a pinion yoke that uses U bolts instead of regular bolts and straps

---

Cab Burge, thanks, I was planning on the Low Low gear set. Who is a good supplier of the u-bolt style pinion yokes?

Thanks for all the great advice guys, i think I will go with CRT. But as far as building one on my own, I have the book, and a spare trans, Just not the time right now to do it, and do it right, so I will build the spare myself as a back up.I cant wait to get this thing back on the track and see what it can really do once tuned in. Thanks again guys.

This is the same way I looked a it. I bought the book, and had the trans already. It did seem that there are some specialty tools required, to build one, and I didn't want to learn from my mistakes on this transmission, as I have on most everything else. I called John @ CRT and we went over what I needed. I went with the billet steel front drum, RMVP, and Ultimate Sprag as safety features. He shipped it on time as he promised.
Great guy to deal with.

I just want to comment on building it yourself.
when you start changing the gears and drums you may need different thickness snap rings, clutch steels, and thrust washers too. Getting all the clearances right can add to the time and expense of rebuilding the transmission if you don't have the different thickness parts on hand.

---

That is the main reason I quit building my own transmissions, lack of proper selection of thrush washers, snap rings and the latest advice on new wear racing parts. I wouldn't pay the cheapest brain doctor or attempt to do my own brain surgery I do my own motor assembly and I set up my own rear ends, I bought the pinion depth tool from Pro Parts years ago to avoid hauling the rear ends a 100 miles each way to get them done, two trips a week after work OP, as far as the pinion yoke contact Dr DIff. about them, if he doesn't have them try Randys Ring and Pinion I bought both of them in aluminum and steel, I haven't tried the aluminum one yet Where's the chicken symbol (instant Graemlins) when I need it
