I got it, while talking on his camera phone he reached down to shift his 1987 Camaro, and this is what was left when the call was done.

He's buying a rodney tranny. RPM Transmissions.

My question is WHY??? Unless you blew up the stock trans like I did. That was the only reason I did it.. You going to an M12? for the different gears? I still would just slap in rear end gears instead...

I must say though, a very nice piece.. I love mine.

Man, you Guys are harsh. From reading his early thread about having the car in the shop and the high cost of repair covered by extended warranty, it sounds like a new tranny.
