Racing Tranny
Who makes them and how much??? I just dropped my old tranny out and I'm looking at a full out race set up. Please any info on this will help me out. I'm looking to get something in the next few days. Thanks!

Give a call to Rodney (Crashed 94). cell 765.524.5341
Even if he can't hook you up he'll know what your best options are.
By the way, anyone talked to him since the tornado in Evansville? That's his backyard, hopefully it missed him!

Ok what's the difference between the T56-025 & T56-023. I'm a little lost. I want a good road corse Tranny. Easy shifts. Lots of power in 3rd and 4th. I think that's what I need. Thanks.

I just ordered an M12 transmission from him with every option he had. Ordered it last Wednesday, he's supposed to ship it this monday, has micro polishing internals, hardened output shaft, a special RPM 1-2 shift fork, cast iron forks for the rest, carbon kevlar synchros, its supposed to be bullet proof. I paid $2400 shipped for it. His basic upgrade M12 is $1450.

he was real busy in that he was moving so he blew through some of the stuff real fast. That's what he said Carbon Kevlar synchros.
sweet.

Yeah he said Carbon/Kevlar right? Are they stronger than carbon fiber or what? I dont know much about that kind of stuff but it sounded sweet.

He'll be building mine in the spring. Either a hardened M6 or an A4, haven't decided yet.

He does indeed. Let me know how it works out. I have a spare setup right now, just in case.

Every racer I know has had trouble with Rockland.
I run the off-the-shelf Close-ratio trans from GM Racing ($6000) and have had no problems. It is built by Tremec with the close ratio gears already in. I now use 2nd-5th at most tracks instead of 3rd-5th.

Nothing like buying a problem.
Thanks for steping in.
