Now here's the goods. The measurements and predictions on what this transmission can handle. Here are some pics of the transmission with the case off.

When you are done breaking the seal on the trans (being careful, don't pry too hard you just want to get the silicon to break free), then remove this fancy plug cover on the top of the casing.

Now to the good stuff! I finally got the pics on my computer and uploaded so you all can see my findings and get a little how-to on the disassembly of this transmission.

First step is to loosen al...

Yes, the 1.6 cable is a little shorter though. about 1". It works though.

should be 9.3:1

I think that any clutch that is run to its limits will have springs pop out. They just can't keep springs in em when you drive them hard. But I've had some clutches last 2 years, and some last 2 mo...

I've broken 4 axles, and each time it was the passenger side. They brake right inside the diff, and the axle seal holds the axle up so you can't see its broken. :bigthumbup:

My method of Break-in.

Put it in. Rail on it until its broken. :D

got 300 miles on it now, and the grinding and notchiness has pretty much gone away completely. I tried to get it to grind today, but it only hit 2nd one time this morning before the gear oil was wa...

How to: RS6 6 speed swap guide

I just wanna go drive right now. The LSD pulls so hard through corners, it feels so crazy. It just whips you around bends, and you feel it fight you, and can tell it works. The VLSD felt good in it...

you have the stock 02 pipe? the one right off the turbo?

no, you need fwd parts for that. not hard to find though.

From the Utah Nissans Annual BBQ. The car was in pieces just 12hrs before this pic. And It still made the 100 mile trip there and back without any issues!

Thanks guys. I tried the valvoline today. It works better, and almost never grinds except when cold. It still has some crunchy synchro issues, but Im just gonna shift faster lol. It nearly disappea...

Nope, fresh fluid. Expensive fluid. I'm tempted to throw in some stock gear oil or some of the 75w140 ashton is talking about. But I hate running GL5

Took the car out for a spin, and I still can't figure out the notchy trans issue. It will chatter gears on the shift (mild grind) but only if I shift very slowly. Almost like the clutch is not rele...

I sandwiched some thick washers in between the clutch pedal and the master cylinder. The master has the studs that go through the clutch pedal, then 2 nuts hold it on. I put about 3/8" of washers i...

Getting the IC reservoir mounted, getting the battery worked out, and fixing the trans mount. The IC hits the trans now because the housing is so dang big lol. So I have to try and make a bumper be...

I've talked with ashton, and there is no cutting on the B13. The B14 seems to be the only one affected, which makes the B14 the hardest one to swap as far as that goes. The steel is very hard and t...

Oh, and I thought I would add, the car needs a slight alignment. But the difference in clutch is amazing. You really notice the larger diameter! But the thing I was not expecting, is the full-out l...

Sweet man, I will def have to try it out. Here are a couple videos from Luke. You can see how fast the turbo responds in these videos. It is instant boost. No brake-boosting required.

Six speed sw...

will it work with the trans correctly? Any additives required? What about the GL4 status? Still yellow metals in this trans.

just glare from the flash. This is with all the check balls removed.
