Ordering New Transmission, but What Gears ?

X3 on the G-Force. Split case design and changing gears are a piece of cake. Make sure you get it setup to read input shaft RPM no matter what trans.

FWIW,
G-Force also sells reconditioned transmissions. They are not as expensive and you pick your gear ratios. If something is worn, it is replaced.

If you get a Jerico they have a much better deal with an input shaft sensor being internal. Otherwise it's a magnet inserted into the input shaft and the sensor mounts to the candlestick. Setting the clutch and seeing what and how the clutch is responding cuts down on the seat of the pants trial and error. So if you do not already have a data acquisition system it's money well spent.

I didn't realize that the DR4-Rev 4 was that much more $ than the original DR4,WOW!

Oh yeah, the new DR4 rev 4 ( or whatever the heck they're calling it ! ), will break the bank now.
Yes, better look at G Force as well.

I have no data logging system as of yet.
