new transmission
Hi I am looking for a new trans .as my current one gives me at top speed about 125 miles.
I mainly use the car at track days ,the evo I just tried once at the track under could and wet conditions and hit the rev limiter pretty fast i fifth gear.. The engine makes 600hp /515 ft lb . Can I buy used 5 speed or should I go for something upgraded like a Shep stage 1 or 2 ? The car is evo ix with a 5 speed trans. Regards Udo |
Evo 9 should do like 170 in 5th.

Think the trans would fit a rally car. Udo |
Even Group N (rally) ratios should do 150+ in 5th depending on tire size and RPM.
If you're going to send it to anyone in the states, it should go to this guy: www.teamrip.com |
shep or jacks...
ive used both with good results. |
Sounds more like an engine problem than a transmission problem.

Go with the Shep trans with upgraded gear ratios. It costs a bit but it's worth it. Is your motor a 2.0 or 2.3? If it's a 2.3 have him install a 4.11 final drive. Will give you the longer gearing you're looking for.

by far the best gearbox guy in europe is Clive, Transmissiondynamics@gmail.com
he does all the high powered cars in UK... |
Thank you for your replays .
I think i send requests to Shep and Clive and hear what they recommend. The offers from Shep ,Jacks and Teamrip looks more or less equal to me, is there any differences I should look out for. Regards Udo |

Regards Udo He also doesn't paint your stuff like a 3rd grader with a can $.99 spray paint. Your trans comes back looking brand new with soda blasted cases and all new bolts. If you want the best Evo trans (or any drivetrain part), you send it to TRE. Which does mean putting up with getting a hold of him, but that caveat is more than made for by his work and the finished product that leaves his shop. |

TRE is the only shop that does shot peening and gear detailing to actually make your gear set stronger. He is also the only shop the magnafluxes parts to check everything for cracks. Everyone else charges a lot of money for what is essentially just a transmission rebuild that you could do yourself.
