I'm going to have to open the trans in the spring to replace 1-2 and 2-3 sycros so I started thinking....what can I do to make some improvments.
Anybody have any experience with double syncros or replacing first gear with a taller ratio. I figure the double sycros would be a good upgrade but I don't know if I have the power to utilize a taller first gear. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

QUOTE (BudmannG @ Nov 17 2005, 05:44 AM) Even for a man on a budget TRE is not cheap. It would take me 2 yrs. to get the money for that,  .This is true. They do good work, but IMHO its not worth the money you have to pay plus the expensive shipping costs. I had them rebuild my old FWD transmission and it worked well, but i wasn't floored with smooth as silk shifting or anything. IMO, Josh at Slopny does just as good of a job for a fraction of the price and no shipping costs. I do still buy all transmission parts through TRE though. |
