Built Manual Transmission

theDreamer · 07-31-2013, 04:51 PM

I spoke with SSP in Houston, who builds mostly DCT, but they are interested.

Does anyone have an exact idea of what parts they need to look into and acquire. Any help would be good to see if they can handle it.

Did you get any follow-up on this? My 2nd manual trans is grinding from 6 to 5. Would like this fixed for good; hopefully beefed-up too.

No, I think they got focused on other projects.

So guys, I just dropped my 2011 Trans off the Chris to build up for me. I am active track junky and was going on my third transmission for 5th gear syncro issues. So rather then buying another transmission that may last me a year, I decided after talking with Chris to have it built. He has a few great ideas for correcting some short comings in the transmission to help it cope with the Track stress.

So STAND by folks

So what I know is:

The removal of slop inside the transmission.
Some shiming of the detent pins for a firmer gear engagement
Other little miscellaneous improvements.

Since my scynros are shot he is replacing all of them as well as my 5th/6th broken shift fork.

Now to under stand some more on the history of my trans, mine failed Soon after switching to Redline MT85. Not saying this was the cause, but before I swapped fluid I was running Motul Motylgear 75W90.

the Second Transmission I had put the same Redline MT85 in, and lasted 3 track day weekends. It's still in the car now, but has issue.
So we are looking in to fluids as well to help with scynro life as well.

We also noticed some wear on the 5th/6th shift fork,on the 5th gear movement side. This is most likely caused my the natural rotation of my shoulder when shifting to 5th. The rotation is a motion that when I shift, I am adding about 5 degrees of angle (to the right) to the upward movement when shifting to 5th. This is something I will have to correct when shifting.

Hope this helps

Mmmm...

Do you suspect that the redline mt-85 is maybe not the best option?

Set up an account so I can post pictures of the build and help address any issues we have found and resolved.
