This winter I completely overhauled my transmission and its finally finished, installed and ready to be broken in. I did the complete overhaul for a few reasons. Something was funky with 3/4 gear and 5/6 had a slight whine to it. The clutch that was in it (spec) was so difficult for me to drive I hated it. It also chattered so badly. I didn't want to go magnum because I dont do enough racing for it to be worth it.
I had my rebuild done by maximum performance in Bristol ri and would highly recommend them. I had all new bearings, seals, bronze fork pads, billet keys and springs, blocker rings, bronze iso cup, and I ended up needing a new 1/2 and 3/4 synchro assembly. I also had them put in a hardened throw out bearing sleeve and 26 spline input shaft. All my parts were bought from tick except the input shaft. I picked up a genuine tremec shaft from lethal.
For the clutch I went with the McLeod rst and McLeod aluminum flywheel. Put in a Ford racing throw out bearing, pilot bearing, firewall adjuster, quadrant, and fixed clutch cable. It is just as smooth and easy as everyone says it is. I love this clutch. Everything went in easy and I'm very happy with the result. It shifts perfect, its quiet, and has zero chatter.
Side note, I added the mmr head cooling mod and egr delete before putting the trans back in. I also painted the trans and bell housing with high temp engine primer and paint. Hopefully it holds up.
