Hello all, I was properly redirected to this forum from the general forum.
I am just North of Chicago and need a WRX trans, rear end, fly/clutch for my Svx.
I am a mechanic but I am trying to psyche myself up for this mod, even though I have allways wanted a stickshift to solve my unending trans problems.
I am not sure if I need any of the wrx shafts, Anyone know of any Chicago area shops w/svx manual conversion experience or know of the best place to find a good waranteed trans for this?
I would love a six speed, but don't have the extr-extra$. I have been driving my SVX without 3rd, 4th in an automatic for...almost 1 1/2 years. The trans might be toast but it still hauls *** in 2!
Ihave even used it on the highway for brief stints. It will go over 100mph before it red lines @ 6.5K RPM, but I try to keep it at 55. Its perfect for a lot of snow thats as fast as you would go anyway.
thanks,
Mike

 

Thank's, but what group do you refer to? Do I need to be a member to read that forum? I would love to get this HndaTech 's
e- mail. Do you have it and is he local?
