well so far the 80e has only had slipping clutch failures...it is still my firm believe that a shift kit'd 80e (accum spacers), with a sonnax'd vb/pump would live a long and happy life behind the vast majority of the 400-500whp builds.
team moose knuckle have helped prove out the 80e in the rear of their lead sled...and he's only lost 4th gear after more than a few hooning sessions (in line with the failures experienced on the whippleRiv)
its fixed with another 150-250$ 80e from the JY.
the turbo setup on the TR is tight enough as is, an 80e would require reworking alot of **** lol
Have you ever looked into coil near plug conversion? lookupthe grand national guys do it will with a lot of success. RJC racing was the company.
the grand national system has to be modified to work with our 3x and 18x reference signals however it's also really expensive.... the ICM stacking mod can be less than 100 bucks
Is the sonnax valve body upgrade an off the shelf part or modding a stock one with new guts?
On the 65's and likely the 80's as well, it requires special reamers and tools to install.
Reason Im asking is Im pretty sure I know someone that has or is getting VB tools.......... Now if they work on a 65 & 80 thats the question.
I'd think a visit to the sonnax site would tell you
I just made that visit, and nope they're not the same. Everything has it's own part number:
4T65E:
http://www.sonnax.com/units/263-4T65-E
4T80E:
http://www.sonnax.com/units/321-4T80-E
The are designed for the FIX-jig that they designed to work with all of their valve body reaming tools
Good call never looked up on their site. Would help a little if it listed prices but yeah they don't match.
Tranny pr0n for Jdredd
still looking into a buildable coating for the 2.93 sprockets...armoloy is a rather expensive possibility
got a good dimensional grasp of it and made a fine tuned mockup out of some scrap stainless...awww look at that cute little needle bearing...poor guy

looks like i can do it fairly simply with welded chromoly plates

ill have to cut down the OD, but im going to modify the OEM side cover bolts for the stator support, grab some more meat, though there's enough room there for some sort of washer type ring to spread the load out to the casting a hair better.

its probably not worth it as the support should fix most of the issues but it does look like an area for improvement since there's room and the oem bolts are an off the shelf size, undoubtedly for cost reasons
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps8ad9ce56.jpg
and for comparison here is the 80e
yep, larger 6 bolt stator support with a 4" dia ball bearing for each gear. and why yes the channel plate bolts to the center of the case...at multiple points no less...
oh dear me is that a roller bearing also supporting the end of the input shaft? why yes my dear it is....
the old girl might weight 65 lbs more...but all that fat is in all the right places, giggity

id let her touch my stub shaft anytime....

slowly but shirly
cutup channel plate let me look at some options for boxing this thing and making it so the 4th accum doesnt have to be modified

James...I'd slap him with a Roloc for that comment.

Give me that brace, my trans is out right now waiting on a new sprag.
dude, this **** takes time lol
i still gotta drop off the 1/4" chromoly plate to get ground down for jetting out the stator support plates. plus ive got a design for a chain slider for the slack side.
the new puzzle design looks good but ive got at least one or two more trial fitments before i get it perfect, the setscrews and plate are designed to clamp the mid support and im trying to make their design part of the puzzle pieces so i can tap them prior to welding.
what gearset ratio ya got? im designing for the smaller 3.29 sprocket and figure on just grinding the support beams a hair for our larger 2.93 drive sprocket
I'm running the 3.29s.
Will be putting the trans back in for a mid-late November trip to the track.
