Yk6 upgrade kit for 3650? Anyone???

Theredmist · January 28th, 2012, 06:24 PM

So as my trans problems continue I'm about to rebuild my trans.... Again! Anyone ever use the yk6 upgrade kit? Is it worth getting? At this point I don't know what to do. This seems to be my cheapest route but if i feel like this wont be the last time I fight with the 3650. I can't afford a t56, and the auto swap comes close to the cost of a t56 swap if it's done well. so this seems to be my only option. Has anyone ever used it? Any thoughts on what else I can do for $700?

What exactly are the problems you're having? You have basic mods according to your sig so I don't see why it would be crapping out on you?

It should be fine...unless you just abuse the crap out of it.

Well it started with syncros for 3rd so I had my trans rebuilt at 103k. at 104k the shift fork disconnected inside the trans and I lost 3rd and 4th completely. So it was serviced at that company for free. Then I deployed for 6 monthes and the car went in storage. Then Around 1 month ago and 1 month after my warrenty expired my car is grinding 2nd. I can double clutch and get into 2nd but if I just try and shift it grinds everytime. Basicly FML!

I know you said you're strapped for cash but if it's just a small grind just deal with it and save for something better. No reason to spend almost a grand on a shitty trans when you could save another grand or so and get a tko or t56.

Also I had mine rebuilt as well and second is always choppy when the car is cold even with a pro 5.0 shifter. These trans just suck as and they are all loud as hell and choppy. Trust me I can't wait to get a t56 in mine, you're better off dealing with it and saving dude.

It's not a small grind it's pretty bad. And it's pretty hard to drive without 2nd in my car I have traction issues real bad at this point. I need to invest in some bigger rims and tires but they don't do me much good without a trans.

Just skip shift, run a little higher rpms in first and go right to third.

And thanks for your service.
