So you're saying you'd be interested in purchasing 3 of the sheptrans 6spd's when they came out? or am I reading you wrong?

Correct

Yes I need 3 separate tranmissions to replace the 6 speeds I have.

Transmission Oil Cooler

If you happen to know the Transmission Oil Cooler that Shep is planning to use please let me know, I already have custom setups on my transmissions and while they work pretty well they are absolutely noisy as all hell!

Very interested in buying but will be several months out due to home purchase, but I will be buying once I am able to do some mods and will need it.

I'd like to keep the car's acceleration the way it is for autocross.

anyone care to comment on this? thanks in advance.
No need to add the longer gears. The upgrades have the the stock ratios, the 4.09 final drive is optional. No worries for Auto X

Sorry to be OT, just figured I'd clarify before it blew up.

SO yesterday I attempted my first, hard, 2nd to 3rd gear shift with the new 500+whp fpblack/meth setup...


....I'm very interested in a shep 6 speed lol


On a side note, I put down 504 465tq with the stock 6speed. Food for thought.

p.s. those longer gears make my mouth water But it looks like anyone trapping above 120mph is still going to need to bang 5th. O well.

EDIT: on second thought, there's a very small chance I'm willing to wait till the end of the year to get a different trans so this may not be an option after all

interested and have a spare 6 speed to rebuild
if you want a pump for a tranny cooler try turbowerx
http://www.turbowerx.com/Scavenge_Pu.../Exa-Pump.html
got mine from batinc.net

just don't mount the pump with the pump housing down, because fluid can get in through a hole in the brushes cover

I'd actually be interested in swapping out my 5 speed for a built 6 speed, but I wouldn't have the cash until late 2011.
