i'm looking to get either the buschur bushwacker or the shepherd street-strip rebuild...getting some grinding here and there so i might wait a little while but i don't want to wait too long for something to go wrong. they are both around the same price and offer about the same goodies...so my two questions..

1) will this void any kinda warranty? don't know if the synchros are oem replacements or whatever

2) which is better, if at all different, and why?

thanks a lot in advance guys

 

this will probably void your warranty.... and both are great its a matter of preference....

 

buschur...

 

Buschur hands down!

 

Shep has more experience rebuilding trannies, I'd stick with them.

 

+1 for Shep... btw, if its 5th gear synchros causing your grind it might be covered. My 1st tranny was covered under warranty. i went w/ a Shep after i killed the 2nd tranny and warranty voided on drivetrain, lol...

 

Both are good Im sure but Id go with shep

 

Dont know to much about the bushwacker. But why not go with someone that specializes on this specific problem? I have a 9 tranny and did the rem/isf, with the 3-4 evo 8 conversion. couldnt be happier. John knows what hes talking about.

 

You might want to consider TRE as well. John is a great guy and won't sell you what you don't need.

 

TRE - Buschur - Shep: All are fine places to deal with and will likely give you a quality product. At that point it will likely boil down to price. Talk to each and see if you like each shop's approach and attitude.

 

Bu shie FOR SUREE!

 

shep all the way, he rebuilt mine in less than 2 weeks (the tranny was in bad shape).

Their cust service is great and he keeps you informed along the entire way

 

id go wit shep they will tell u everything thats wrong wit it once they pull it apart, they had to do alot of work on mine cuz it was insanlly efffed up lol but there work is worth the money

 

^^^

this is what shep had to work with it

Have you tried replacing your fluids? I'm in the same position as you w/ the 5th gear grind and I've heard changing the fluids out might resolve the problem
