Christmas Money


OK so this year my Christmas and Birthday money is going into car parts. Heres my list of what I'm shooting for. If anyone knows anywhere cheaper to get these things please tell me. Shipping is included in all these prices.

1) Ford Racing Trak-Lok.........................chipsv6specialties.com .....$194.99
2) Motive 3.73 Gears.............................chipsv6specialti es.com.....$149.99
3) Motive Bearing Rebuild Kit...................chipsv6specialties.com.....$ 74.99
4) Spec Billet Aluminum Flywheel..............lmperformance.com.........$3 59.10
5) Spec Stage 2 Clutch..........................lmperformance.com. ........$314.10
6) Ford Racing Aluminum Drive Shaft.........rpmoutlet.com................$249.95
7) Hurst Short Shifter............................chipsv6specialt ies.com.....$150.97

I know I'm going to get posts about how I don't need some of this stuff, but just work with me here I promise it will all come together eventually.

So many horror stories, I wouldn't trust my money with a company with that kind of rep... I personally never ordered from them, but with all I heard of them I don't ever plan to either... so you take your pick lol! I'd rather order it from american muscle and use the discount code...

Worse damn transmission I ever had, I liked the old ass T5's better than this pos, I sometimes gotta fight with it to get it into first and reverse, dude I can do a 3rd to 4th combo and slip it into reverse it and it just might not crunch... I can't wait to swap this out for a t56 with viper specs or t6060

yeah I'd go somewhere else and get a second opinion then, I'm pretty sure it's a synchro but then again I'm no professional...

Gotta drop the transmission and replace the 4 to 5 blocker rings and all...
