haha, i see what you mean but those guys know their stuff so i'm sure they're swapping out a ridiculous amount of parts. When i saw it on the lift it wasn't done yet but that was probably 4+ months ago, i would assume it's finished by now.

Well, if you've got the panache to go FI, you're probably going to do it right.

If you spend a ton of money doing something right the first time, you only cry once.

If you spend ONLY as much as you have to to get the job done... you'll be crying for a long time to come.

what are the chances of getting a higher res pic of the transmission itself? i would like to peak at the transfer case area of it.

i wonder if it is the same transmission as the RWD auto only with a different tail housing.

Would be curious to see the FWD performance capability. Kudos!

We don't have any firm pricing with the manual tranny. We're still in the R&D process for the manual. It looks like due to electronics and other wizardry we are going to end up with the R34 Transmission.
