    doing this shit for a living and racing these cars for 12 years... the 6 speeds need a brace if you have any type of serious clutch AND your gonna race it OFTEN. the case fatigues over time and will break. in the short term.. they seem to last a while.
    Hey Ray, you mean a bellhousing brace, right?

    He's talking about the 5spd TC mid case which people started tearing off after the main case wasnt breaking anymore.

    In the first part of his post he's talking the 5 speed Transfer case, in the second part of his post he's talking about the 6 speed bellhousing.

    with the brace and the endcase your in pretty damn good shape.

    Ray has the endcase group buy here: 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center



    all we're left with afaik is to beef up the 6 speed transfer case gears no solution for that yet...but then again not many people are breaking them!!
