My spider gears blew up!!! Oh no!

[91 SHO Black]

i was cruising at 85 in fifth car **** shifter popped out of gear and smoke behind me. pulled over and my fluid was dumping out. all the gears still work, **** the car will still go.(i didn't drive it) this has happened to me once before and i had no choice but to give the repair to a shity shop that did everything wrong ( i was 200 miles from home) so i surmise that my spider gears through a chunk punching a hole in the case and now i'm pretty F'ED. There’s a sho of the same year in a junk yard and i'm wondering if this is so common that it would be unwise to use a unknown used sho trans. any incites? from any one please. p.s. also does anyone know were i can find procedures for the swap.

 

[Racer X]

Yes, it's common. Do a search for SHO Boom.

Before you install the new transmission, you'd do well to have your differential welded at the very least to avoid a repeat performance.

And stop doing burnouts if that's your thing.

** we can weld our diff so it will make it stronger

where can i find the info

 

[91 SHO Black]

are you talking about welding the diff pin?

 

[moobypets]

yes the diff pin

 

[LOUDSHO92]

are you talking about welding the diff pin?

Yes or get a Wavetrac. You blue your differential pin. Welding helps but the best way is to replace.

You might want to contact us at SHO SOurce. We can get you a used transmission and help with the install.

 

[SuperHO]

it becomes routine after your 4th or 5th one. simply put, stop doing burnouts.

 

[moobypets]

ok but by welding the diff pin we can make it a bit stronger

 

[LOUDSHO92]

Yes but a Quafie/Wavetrac are 100x better.

 

[SuperHO]

more reliable, maybe...but not stronger. personally, next time i eat a trans, i'm gonna have the diff yanked and have a thin steel band wrapped around it to hold the pins in place until i can get a wavetrac or a quaife built tranny.

 

[shotime1994]

Best thing ive done to my sho is a wavetrac. Worth every cent.

 

[moobypets]

yeah this i im sure off but before i find 1000 in my pocket it will be long lollllll

Sorry Matt, couldn't resist!:laugh_ti:

If you are on your 4th or 5th MTX tranny, you need to be kicked in the sack!!!:hyper::braincramp::theyareontome:cuss:



The Wave Trac and Quaife are worth every penny! I cannot stress this enough. What good is having power that just goes up in smoke? If you start to add up the cost to replace a blown tranny, the Quaife/Wave Trac becomes very affortable quickly.

Used MTX tranny $350.00
New clutch,pp,tob and resurfaced flywheel $350
Labor rate to R&R tranny and clutch $500

$1200.00 just that quick to get you back on the road with no improvement in performance or durability.

 

[moobypets]

yeah and a wavetrack is 1000 plus shipping

plus all the rest that goes with it

+ labor and all about 1700

 

[SHOtime2511]

where can I get a Wavetrack for $1000?

 

[moobypets]

euuu i was maybe getting the wrong number it was out off the blue

1395 sorry i was wrongggg
