These guys might be able to help (they have US based dealers) and I have used their T5 gearsets in my Historic Race car in the past
https://www.ppgearbox.com/ These guys make the axles for my historic race car Home ⚙ Albins They'll both require a sample to make a replacement gear. AUD:USD rate favours the USD at the moment |

Bumpity bump!
Old thread I know.... But I'm grinding when shifting hard into second, and 6th grinds when it's cold. I do my best to baby it currently. I'm running redline MT85 with AmsOil synchro Mesh which has helped quite a lot. I'm about to boost the poor thing and I'm wondering if there has been any progress on parts or a rebuilder? |

Any word on if this is something we can get yet? My trans shifts slowly between 1 and 2 and 3. It shifts fine when not WOT. I'd like to get a transmission that will hold up to boosted E85 punishment instead of cooking transmissions over and over. Getting it done over the winter is ideal, I'm a Minnesota boy.

Oh dear lord no. I run a JWT single disk combo rated at 700 foot pounds. I know you're being thorough, but does anyone boost on a stock clutch?
I heard in the Boosted VQs FB group that a guy named Spooler was "working on something" until covid hit. Would this be you? Last edited by oldskoolchuk; 10-17-2020 at 11:34 AM. |

Yes, I brought this subject up in Boosted VQs. It's hard for me.to believe that there isn't a kit available for these transmissions considering the way the synchros fail with boosted applications. I've seen quite a few posts about trans problems over the last number of months that I've been a part of the community. I figured that if I encouraged discussion there too, perhaps it would get some kind of response from someone who had either built a stronger solution, or could point me in the right direction for upgrade kits, or perhaps at least someone I could shop mine to for some modifications since mine is still shifting well and not grinding yet. I've owned 3 of these now, one of which had a new trans put in under warranty. Both the others shifted so much faster than mine is now. Neither of those were boosted though. I didn't warranty this one because an adjuster.would tell me to **** right off as soon as they looked under the car or under the hood. I still don't like the idea of buying a whole new trans to fix a few parts that are wearing... but it seems like it's our only recourse.
The thing is there's an opportunity for someone to make a lot of money making a durable trans or by putting together an upgrade kit for this car... people love boosting them, tracking them, and drifting them. If I was a trained transmission mechanic I'd jump at a chance to start up a company. I really don't think success is "pie in the sky" on this. There is a market for this... it's just waiting for someone to jump on it. |
