Also, believe it or not, it fits in there now, but just. It doesn’t leave enough room for movement. I’m pretty sure firm engine mounts will be a must.

I've been through 3 transmissions in 3 months, with a built one on the way, but this definitely has my eyes on it, as a potential option for guys who don't want to spend as much as I am on mine...

I was seriously looking at going with a quaife sequential, but I wasn’t sure I would want to live with it using it on the street. This was a big welcome option!

Power level? What were you doing with the car when the failures occurred?

If you have driven it, whats the NVH like?

There is a polyurethane mount on the direct bottom of the transmission, mounted with two bolts to the black “V” shaped piece. Haven’t driven it yet. I have several more things to accomplish to get it drivable.

Transmission works well, has nice shifting. A little noise in the shifter that I need to address, but I have a very y light flywheel, and very firm engine mounts. My engine is on a very soft break in tune right now also. I have made many changes, including Driveshaft shop axles. I have a vibration somewhere that I need to isolate. It is either the driveshaft or axles, as it also occurs with clutch pedal pressed and engine at idle. I will post again once I figure it out.

If it happens only at speed, whether or not you have the clutch depressed, then it would be trans/post trans between the trans and wheels. |

It only occurs when the car is moving. If I am at say 75 mph, and I press the clutch and let the engine drop to idle, the vibration is still there.
