It lased me 15 drag runs, and 1500 miles before i killed it
Goodbye POS wide ratio 5 speed
I was driving normally, and my 2nd, 5th and reverse gears all went out at the same time, i found this after.
I also found a bunch of ball bearings inside the gear oil
More broken transmission
Previous owner never told me the clutch was brand new, i glazed that bitch over hard core
This is what drag racing does to a clutch with 200 miles on it.
it was a mirror shine, oddly the pressure plate still looked brand new!
Compared to my brand new one (which was the wrong size..)
They sent me a 240 mm friction plate instead of a 225
And finally, the coveted 1983 280zx close ratio 5 speed transmission.
this tranny is amazing, it shifts smooth, the gearing is tight.
now i just need to change my rear end gears to make up for the taller first and second in this trans.
