If you have followed my posts, you know how much work I have put into strengthening this transmission.
Start with a Kia transmission.
1.) 5th gear 'plate mod'.
2.) Reinforced bellhousing to prevent the secondary inner bearing from punching through like on my previous Mazda g-series.
3.) Different secondary inner bearing. Hard to see, but the outer race is flanged for more support. Drawback is that it's really hard to find. Also, added a weld bead for more strength in that area.
4.) Quaife helical LSD. I don't have an individual picture of it, but you can see it in the shots below. I bought it from Jeff (trailrider098).
5.) PAR billet straight-cut 3rd and 4th gears. These are the ones with the double syncro and needle-bearing option (requires the shaft to be machined).
6.) Remaining gears and shafts were heat-treated by RacerStev and then shot-peened.
7.) Box was completely rebuilt with all new bearings that have been keyed to prevent them from spinning in the case. Roughly 2000 miles on it using Torco synthetic fluid.
8.) 3.85 final drive ratio and the longer 5th gear for lower cruising rpm.
9.) Drilled and tapped for oil cooler/pump. The drain plug has been enlarged to 1/2" npt so fittings are easy to find. Also, has a tapped hole on the top for the return and another tapped hole on the side where I used a temp probe. All of these are easily plugged with npt plugs.
I think that's all the mods. Obviously, I also have the intermediate shaft and axles. Open to offers - keep in mind that the PAR gears alone cost ~$2000 and the Quaife over $1000. Add to that all the machining and labor and please come up with a fair price.
Reason for selling is to convert over to a Toyota transmission like Jon has done.
