well we have finally got the trans cuff figured out all the tolerances are perfect unlike the PG that the tolerances are out by 0.08" cause the top of the shafts to bind slightly or have a hard time to install. The bearings were very hard to find. If anyone has questyions pm me or email me for details or questions i might can help with just wanted to show you guys what we might can do to keep these stock trans toghter.

 

I tried putting the PG in mine with no luck. Glad to see someone take the time and develop it correctly!

 

awesome!! It's about time!

 

u got mail.

 

We have put PG into a 00 SI tranny and a 96 LS tranny wit no problems... no altering at all...... what problems are u guys running into???

 

yeh my PG gave me a hard time getting the case back on. nice work.

 

looks good

Has anyone tried it yet?

 

I know nothing about transmissions... what is this piece>? And what is PG?

PG = Phantom Grip. That is the transmission cradle

it holds the 2 gear sets together so they don't pull away from each other under alot of power

 

they have been tried in a few dog box trans and work fine (disclosed)
and there being put into the stock box this week but they have been test fitted an all clearances are perfect so were going to try it and see how it does

 

 

woohoo, this one actually fits. Buck you da'man.

 

I put PG in my si tranny and had no problems installing.

 

Does this delete the 5th gear like i've heard?

 

It does delete 5th gear.

Thats Liberty's Cuff or a copy of it....

I was just about to ask what happens to the 5th gear or do you have to machine the case, but someone already answered.
precision work!

 

no machining
just remove the 5th gear and replace with the cuff and shim approriately

 

0.80" is a mile when it comes to machining and bearing placement. I work on swiss made machines for the printing industry and and some of the tolerances on the our machines is in the tenths of a micron ( 1 micron = 0.0004"). No wonder the PG cradle wouldn't fit being that far out.

 

Nice piece

 

Nice set up, can you let me know how it holds up after testing and also get me a price............Thank

That IS allot.I run a CNC that cuts shafts for electric motors and the bearing journals are held to 1-2 tenths (.0002) .Bearing tolerances,especially inside a transmission case, would be pretty important for the bearing not to wear prematurely and fitment issues of course.0.08 is ridiculous!Anyway good work Buck02 lets see how well these work.

BTW .0002 is 2 ten thousandths of an inch. .2 is 2 tenths. There is a huge difference in those. Don't even know what industry uses 2 ten thousandths clearances.

considering 2 tenths in the machining world is a huge amount... 2 tenths much of the time refers to .0002 Tenths is just easier to say then 2 ten-thousandths
