Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

I can't wait to see one of these transmissions in person, you are definatly pioneering a lot of stuff in the club. Any idea on how much that SOB weighs.

Yep I have never heard of one of those being blown up in a Fiero, granted knowing you and your engine choice, there is always a first for everything.

Good to see you got some progress on the suspension! Have you tried calling them with regards to your issue? I usually find that when dealing with them over the phone helps!
Can't wait till my "little helper" is born so that I have someone to keep me company / sane while working on my car! By the time that happens i'll have a new project hehehe

Well that is really sucking, I hope that it all works out
for you. P.S. the Pooping comment, LOL, was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the pic. I am glad I am not the only one that thought of it. |

turns out I will basically have a 6 speed automatic transmission in my car, the th425 that I am picking up on Sunday is the switch pitch model with a 3.21 final drive, this is the coveted model for this transmission. gear ratios are: 2.74:1 1st gear 1.57:1 2nd gear 1.00:1 3rd gear torque converter has a 1000/2400 on the fly selectable stall speed |

So its not a split rear end idea, just a selectable stall
speed? With the amount of torque you will be making by the time 2400 rpms comes up, you will just end up either blowing the tires off, breaking something or flipping the car up on its back end. I am kinda confused here. |

well i got the new transmission today and have to say, it sure is beefy and HEAVY, but then again it is a trans and rear end all in one. will start the install of that once the airbags, choptop and roll cage installs are finished, until then it is going to sit for a little while longer, forgot to take pics of the transmission but will post them when i start with the install.

no this is not hugh's old setup, but i liked it soo much when i put it on his car that i decided that I need to do it to my car only differance is this is a polished set as apposed to the chrome, I figure spending a meer 750 as apposed to the 5000 was worth the upkeep of polished
