Big Power Manual Transmission (S6-53) Swap

[vollosso]

So the powder coated was backed up a couple weeks. I pulled an audible and jumped to stainless on the brace and added a rib...

Tell me what you guys think:

that's much better. With the rib on it you can also make it thinner. 3/16 would be plenty I think. I assume your getting that laser cut in 2 pieces then weld them together?

Yep exactly. Its hard to see but it’s plugged, and it’ll be stitched.

Its out of 7 gauge so basically 3/16. I did some quick calculations and it’s way more than enough. Didn’t wanna jump into plate if I didn’t have to.

The logo will be etched.

All in all I’m happier with im the brace out of stainless.

I love making stuff out of stainless. It welds like butter the cost is usually offset by not needing to paint or powdercoat. I make lots of stuff out of stainless.

these seat brackets were like 50 bucks a piece to laser cut. The flanges are attached with a slot cut to form a hinge so I just had to bend them 90 degrees by hand and weld up the slot. Even easier if I had a brake to bend them.

Well thought out kit! Fair price too considering clutch.

Any other clutch options for just stock setup?

I can do a lower power setup a bit cheaper. I did a large run of flywheels to keep the cost down and went with a twin disk flywheel. To do another run would be cost prohibitive at this time.

These will obviously work na, and since they are 8.5” and lighter they will be more fun to drive. Better lockup and better wear life versus a performance single. We went with a nice pressure and they will be very slippable.

I'm currently doing a stock auto to manual and wanted to go with this transmission from now instead of redoing this again later. I have too much to do to this 328 before I'm seeing boost on it.

Yeah it’ll give you a nice segment of time to break it in :wink I did that on my first build with a twin.

Car-part.com is a good used parts listing that I use. EBay also has some options

We are looking at about a $4k transmission swap between one thing and the next, excluding labor of course. If it can support 1000wtq
