Forged Rods/Pistons stock crank
Is it possible to run forged rods and pistons on stock crankshaft?
Reason I ask is I need to rebuild or grab a new transmission. Someone told me that having a new trans would be harsh with a used motor. How accurate is that? I guess what I am trying to say is, is it best to upgrade to forged internals upon installing the new or rebuilt trans? My thought process is that if I replace my internals it will help correspond with the new trans....if that even makes sense?? Or can I just install a new trans and not have to worry about the motor? I currently have 90K miles its been through 2 owners and other than carfax God knows what was done. I want to save as much $$$ as possible but if I have to spend to get a full setup then I will. Or is there another route I do not see? |

What fool said that. No, if you only need to replace your transmission you do not need to replace your motor. Tell that person you don't want to replace the motor because you heard new motors need new wheels because then they'd be too harsh on the tires. |

For moron who told you that a new tranny on an used motor would be harsh. I would be harsh on his head with a baseball bat.

Yeah, new trans on old motor is just fine.
To answer your other question, aftermarket rods/pistons with stock crank is also just fine. -Daelen

The engine and trans don't need to "correspond." As long as the trans bolts up properly and can handle the engine's power, you are good to go.

How bad is your transmission? How's your clutch? Just wondering how long you can get by...
Also is the same person giving you advice working on your car as well? Haha

My gears are sticky. typical 1st to sec sticky but I grind when I go in to 6th. I also think my synchros are going bad because when I down shift into 5th from 6th it grinds even with matching RPM's going into 5th. It may be the bad clutch too... No way..I leave that to professionals. I am a noob and know very little. Only thing I did myself was the exhaust. anything else I'm letting the guys at TF works install. |

I figured as much its nice knowing I dont have to though but honestly i'm OCD and anal about things. It will drive me crazy knowing my crank is balanced as far as durability goes... Thank you for your input. Reading can only get you so far.....
