Default Rebuilding M12s?


Has anyone had their M12 or M6 rebuilt as a more heavy duty unit?..

Who did the work?

How much?

What were the 'upgrades'?

We do rebuilding. I have sold a couple to forum members and done numerous jobs local.

We offer a 1 year warranty raced or not.

On our rebuilds we use:
Carbon/Kevlar Synchros (better then stock)
New Seals
New Bearings
One of a kind billet synchro keys which are the weakest link
Steel 3/4 fork

Also you can upgrade to a billet mainshaft which is a little pricey (600.00 in addition to rebuild costs)

The tranny with warranty is 1800.00 outright. We do accept cores, but it depends on their condition.

This can be done to M12 or M6 transmissions. I have made over 600RWHP with one and constantly track the car. 50+ passes on the latest rebuild under severe stress (1.4 60's and 3.42 gears)....hasn't skipped a beat!

If you have any questions, or would like more info, send me a PM or an email:

One last option for the diehard enthusiast..is the Gforce gear set.

We will guarantee it to 1000HP and will warranty it for one full year (raced or not).

The cost of such tranny is 5000.00. It does come with alot of options you may or may not be interested in (although the price is the same) and cannot be configured. If you were interested in such a set up, let us know. There is also the option of changing the 5th and 6th gear to closer ratio (additional charge).

If you need it, we can do it;)
