1st and 2nd gearing is now usable in a TT/GT2.
Car is still easy at stop&go, even with LWFW or starting uphill.
SERIOUS buyer can test drive.
Car hauls monkey *ss with this gear set!
It's relentless bc always spot on in the powerband.
Gears are very strong Guard gears, due to the way they are cut they give some motorsport type whine/noise. It's not dominant, it's a background type noise. Personally I love it, it feels baller/better. Again SERIOUS buyer can test drive.
Overall, the gearbox as a whole has roughly 12000 miles with
80 miles on:
1st gear (GT3 Cup 1st gear + motorsport main shaft)
2nd gear + new synchro
700 miles on:
5th + steel synchro
6th + synchro
Main pinion bearing
LSD
6000 miles on:
3rd gear + steel synchro
4th gear + steel synchro
Box can be bought with or w/o the Carbonetic LSD installed. It's a carbon disc LSD, lasts at least 10 times longer than any regular disc LSD. Add $1500.
Here comes the good part:
- I will TRADE this box (w/o LSD) for an OEM stock tranny up to 50.000 miles (must have no bad noise or 2nd gear popout or rough synchro), all buyer has to do is fund the cost to swap the boxes out of/into my car (appr $1500 at a decent shop). It's a baller tranny that belongs inside the community!
I will have this gearbox overlooked before it moves into buyer's car, to give buyer a chance to verify that it has the gearset described and so that a builder can check that it will not have a 2nd gear popout issue.

I don't qualify for your deal becaue I have too many miles on my unit (even though its perfect and has never had 2nd gear pop out!), and I would drive to you and do this in a second, but I gotta ask, primarily out of curiousity, why would you do this? Other than the extra noise, what is the down side of your box? (also, if you don't mind more miles, I'd throw in cash and buy the lsd!!!!! just in case!) In any event, good luck, you are going to make a forum member very happy! I'm going to let my buddy with a perfect 04 cab know about this right now!

Agree^ I recently changed my third gear out to straight cut gear - absolutely love the sound, now I wish I replace all the gears or new about your tranny before?
