Author Topic: Need good transmission (Read 8843 times)

Does anyone have a good 88-89 trans or 85-87 trans in good shape they would like to sell? Or can anyone recommend anyone that sells transmissions? I'm working on a 431 puma build and am having trouble finding a good set of gears.

Is it just a few gears or do you need a whole transmission?

I'll check with my builder this week, he said everything was pretty rough, have to see how much I really need

Dale the seller on ebay's Dirt factory parts out many 250r's. you can get a whole tranny for $200 then get if magnufluxed and Cryo'd for a little more.

Thank you I will try them, just have had bad luck from random sellers on ebay

Does LED still have the reinforced countershaft gears? You might want to look into some tougher ones for the Puma.

Thanks Tony,
I'm all cleared out until this winter. Back to work now.

I found a set of new yukons and plan on cryo treating them, think they will hold up vs led 1-3

I been running 2 puma's for 6 years now on stock tranny's. Blew 2nd on one of them. Lil epoxy and another $150 tranny is a good fix.

Maybe I'm worrying too much if stock is holding up good for you. Do you cryo treat your stock trannys?

Not until this 486 I am putting together now. Most important is to get first and second back cut so they do not slip out of gear when taking off.

I have to Ask what is the 486? Is it based off a puma cylinder? And what is the bore and stroke? I have two transmissions coming so should be good for gears now with yukons. Already have some shiny stuff from you just need a reason to bolt it on. Just lost interest in the polonda.
