Got a chance to drive the new car last night... He wasn't kidding when he said 2nd gear was gone! sad.gif First took a few jabs to get into gear also sooooo.... What should I look at when I have Josh rebuild this thing? Double syncros? Steel shift forks? GVR4 1st? My goal is to see around 400hp and hit an 11.99 at the track. After that, the rules of the game change as far as I'm concerned, and everything on the car will have to be re-evaluated.

So, suggestions from those more experienced than I in the tranny department? biggthumpup.gif

From my experiences I would personally do the double synchro 2nd and not worry about too much else. The GVR4 is about 5MPH taller, but not worth the money or the heart-ache. The stock shift forks are ok as long as your gears are ok and and the cables like Nate said. Any extra conservatism you can afford is always insurance though.
