[srtthis]

Just finished mine. Didn't replace the tub and am regretting it. Looks great though!

our old one was cast iron and this new one is cast iron... im glad i pulled it out since the subfloor was pretty bad off. and needed replaced. but my back still thinks it sucked... both tubs were over 300lbs

Looks great! You'll be really happy with it when you're done. House upgrades are fun.

 

[srtthis]

thanks man... i keep telling myself that and looking back at the pictures of our kitchen when we did that

 

[NIKwoaC]

Oh yea man, that kitchen looks great. Good work!

Reminds me, I need to do the finishing touches on some french doors I installed in my house... Not that the wife hasn't been reminding me haha.

That's over $500 in parts.....

I have a good t5 we just rebuilt in dads 93 cobra I know we want to get rid of since I just got him a TKO 600 setup. I'll see if he's ready

thanks man! i really didnt want to hear that price.... im going to talk with him to see how long it will hold together how it is now. nothing was scored or anything like that just sharp edges on the teeth on input and counter shaft

 

[MikeH686]

Someone ridden that thing hard and put it away wet

 

[srtthis]

id never do such a thing...

it was put away pretty dry... it was leaking which caused all this

 

[MikeH686]

Yeah same here I'm just gonna run mine until I save for a 5 or 600

 

[srtthis]

guess im down till next year... 875 in parts alone to fix mine.

C4?
TKO?
3550?

 

[hoopty5.0]

Whaaaat??? Can't you just pick up a used t5 and beat on it while you save for something better?

 

[RangerJoe]

Throw it back together and run it! My t5z had so much play in the input and gears it was ridiculous. Whined like crazy, but was still driving fine when it came out. I held on to it for a backup.
Just start saving for a new trans.
