good deal...now all you need is a manual transmission and you're good to go.

manuals never came on my car, 1996 monte carlo.

so i would have to retro fit an older 5spd into my car. plus, thee is a very little aftermarket for the 3 tranny's i could put in, and im not exactly sure how well they will handle the power im looking to get out of the engine and turbo. the auto tranny can easily be built to handle the power.


im hoping for 350 whp and 425 wtq on 12psi on pump gas

ahhh i see a monte huh sweet id try a tougher automatic trans like a 700-r4 they were used on turbo cars from GM all the time like the syclone and the typhoon

depending on the monte you have what engine you have should i say they make a bitchin trans for that engine if you feel like saveing a couple of bucks go to the junk yard and get a trans and rebuild it

jinxy

do you have a 3100 or a 3800? and i suppose you have checked all the belts and everything right?

i cant use the 700r4 because thats a RWD tranny. the 95+ montes are FWD

the tranny that i have is the 4t60e tranny

the car came originally with the 3100 but i put in a 3400 from a 2002 grand am gt and then put in the tubo and then put the newest tranny with 20k miles on it. it only cost 150 bux so i think thats pretty cheap for what it is.

if you want to check it out i think its www.hewland.com they make raceing transmissions for fwd cars from drag cars to touring cars to rally cars its worth a look i suppose if you want a race trans

thanks for the link but there are only 2 places i would get a race trans from, www.zzperformance.com or build it myself.

the last time i sourced out parts from someone that was "good with xxxx" i ending up not having a very good result


the torque converter company that made my converter is VERY well known and the guy said that he can do it, but he hasnt done one before.

and as you can see by my previous posts, the coverter didnt work out as advertised and now the guy wants to bullshit around and try to make excuses as to why its not working for me and try to say that its my fault!

so thanks again for the link, but i dont think they would make a race tranny for less than $1500 and thats what the race tranny from zzperformance.com costs.
