So if anyone has followed my saga on this transmission you all know, it finally came to an end. :-( After changing the fluid, then the slave cylinder, then the master cylinder, the car locked itself into 4th gear and had to be towed home. It's still stuck in 4th gear and at this point, I know I'm stuck needing to get it rebuilt.
I was looking at using Texas Drivetrain Performance (Texas Drivetrain Performance) and doing their stage 2 build, and probably requesting that they go ahead and replace all of the gears, etc. just to be safe. My brother suggested that I should request straight-cut gears instead of angle cut. As he explained it, angle-cut gears are quieter, and straight-cut gears create a slight whine, but the straight-cut gears are a bit more forgiving of rough handling than angle-cut. I could use a bit of forgiveness from the car....
Is he right? Also, is there anything else that I should request done to the transmission while it's out and getting rebuilt?
Also, for pure curiosity, is it better to send the tranny off for rebuild or to do it myself at home?
