Tranny Swap Progress Thread

TheBab · Aug 25, 2007

I am going from the T45 / Spec 4 set up in my car to a T56 / Spec 3 + set up......

I located a T56 local that I am picking up Labor Day....

Then I ordered the 26 spline input shaft and shims..

Spec Stage 3 + Clutch kit

Mcleod throw out bearing retainer

Everything above has already been ordered...

Now I need to buy an 03 Cobra drive shaft... new ujoint from summit racing to mate the 03 DS to my rear end....and a dallas motorsports speed cal so my speedo wont read 160 while going 40...

I'll snap pictures of parts as they come in.. and install hopefully.

Good bye shitty 5 speed.... hello 6 speed.

Ended up not finding a used driveshaft...

I ordered a new 03 Cobra driveshaft... ended up costing $300 shipped.

I had to order a new ujoint for it to mate up to my rear end. (ibthejokes) (pictured below)

The mcleod throw out bearing retainer came in this week.... as did the new spec 3+.

The 26 spline input shaft and shims should be in tomorrow... and picking up my tranny tomorrow.

Car SHOULD be up and running before next weekend...but we'll see.

Old clutch and new clutch side by side...
