any one have any experience buying a tranny from them, i was thinking about getting the Big Dawg Tranny...
"Type IV

Same as Type II unit but, with a Ultra Low 4.9 Ring and Pinion set. Available for YS-1 and Hydro B series transmissions only. Call for custom applications.

Retail Price starting at $3,150.00"

I'm just sick of rebuilding mine, and its like $1750 for an OEM one

 

I cant speak for their transmissions but i know their parts and customer service are awesome. Gear Speed carbon coated synhros FTW!

 

if that's the one i'm thinking of, it's just the same as an oem itr tranny with 4.9 final drive.....

for the $ I'd buy a new oem usdm itr tranny and put either a close ratio gear set or 4.9 final drive for a little more - still not the $3k you'll be spending.....

I haven't bought anything from them, but I made a couple inquires into trannys/parts and they were very helpful .

 

id rather buy a new one from the dealer and throw in the 4.9 myself

ive seen and installed the gearspeed syncros, im not impressed
id rather get new OEM ones

 

i had gear speed syncros in my R tranny and they started grinding with brand new 3-4 sleeve and 3rd gear so i pulled them out and put in the ones that came with the sleaveset and it was fine till expo

 

Also had a bad experience with GS synchros.

 

You have a B-Series your always going to get syncro issues so whatever syncro you want put it in, as for gearspeed heard nothing but good things from them.

 

rkelllleyyyy

 

the gearspeed syncro is not the same shape as a BRAND NEW oem syncro, they look more like refurbished ones

 

i installed gearspeed carbon synchros with a 4.9 fd and 3,4,5th mf gears, i get a grind when i shift to 5th gear at high rpms
