    That makes total sense, but I still don't understand why this would contribute to end cases or transfer cases splitting. What makes more sense to me are the gears, helical gears vs straight cut, helical gears, with additional torque will want to push away from each other, which splits end cases, which, still makes me believe, with higher HP/TQ cars, you'll need to A) Modify the gears to straight cut, like supercars dog box, or B) Beef up the end case via Broomfield or someone else along with beefing up the brace for the transfer case, or the case itself.

    What you're describing, Pivot type mechanical shifting vs. hydraulic shifting, that would, in my opinion, seem to only affect clutch pedal feel, hydraulic would be a lot easier and smoother, which would be a lot nicer when you ARE running a heavy pressure plate.

    There seems to be a glitch on this page. It says there is a new post [by Nihil] but doesn't show it....

    OK now it shows up on the 2nd page. Previously there was no 2nd page until I posted. Oh well fixed now :\

    WOW just had to quote myself since my answer just popped up. 0nly took a few months and the thread pops up where shop xyz is selling them now at the "HUGE one time cheapest discount ever", of $4000.
    Gotta love the business model that certain places prove over and over again. Takes money to f people and make money lol.

    Glad, I managed to get my 6 speed from Cherry Hill for $18xx.00 shipped without a core charge. But then again I don't have a business to run.

    Cherry Hill only receive 1 of the 2 they ordered (before the sell off was made public). There was another guy that was supposed to get the other one. Cherry Hill seems to be the only dealership that received ANY 6 speeds.

    Yay for getting one for an awesome price from Cherry Hill thanks to ^^^ Thanks again. No core charge was hawt...I'm a bit shocked that they are requiring cores on transmissions to maximize even more of the profit to be had. I got a new tcase for 400 shipped and trans for about the same price as dbest. Jesus, that's still 100% markup on a "sale" price. SHIT BALLS!
    60% of the time, my car works every time.
