Re: Ouch T-5

["Edwin Atwood" <javelin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

why not just use tremec 3650... i think it is!!! used it in my 68 jav and
only had to shorten input about 5/8 of an inch bolted right up to amc bell
[t-150] pattern ...these tranny's much better than w.c. or non w.c.and
definately better than those borg 4-sp's

with the second set. He sadi the only reason he is selling this stuff off is
noone wants the non world class trannys rebuilt anymore. He said last one he
went ahead and put together he lost money on. So the few he has that need
repaired he is parting out to get rid of them and will only deal in World
Class stuff in the future. He said he personally doesn't see a whole lot of
difference in the life expectancy of early world class and non world class.
It's just a whole image thing. The early non world class and non world class
all have the same torque rating.

Gears are fine. The synchonizer Dogs/Teeth are worn out from torque load
almost halfway through!

minus shipping both ways. Which will net me about $12 back on my $46
investment. If he ever sends me the the refund.
