So the shift fork 4 magnet came apart. Really common on these DCT470 transmissions. Its a magnet to allow a sensor to read the position of the 2/4 shift fork. When it falls out, the transmission goes into limp mode and wont apply clutches to even numbered gears.So I bought a replacement from...
Thanks man, that is super nice of you. I really love this community. I appreciate it beyond most things the internet brings me. To be transparent, I haven't decide how to proceed.Options floating around in my head:
1. Part it out. Get as much as I can for every part, down to the last part...
Just learned of the TMZ shop fire. Very glad Tim is okay. Sadly, my built trans with a broken 4th gear, 4 spider, KAAZ LSD, etc, along with my 300m transfer case with billet housing all got completely destroyed in the fire.This one really hurts. It took me (a poor person) years to save the...

New longblock fired up easy and had no drama or leaks. Knock on wood. First 12 miles on the road went well, feels a bit harsher with the new control arm bushings and motor mounts. New turbo feels good, like stock.

With the recent release of the SST TCU Crack, I decided to do some launches. Got some solid sub-4.2second 0-60mph pulls before giving it a bit too much boost and timing.At 5500 rpm the stock turbo can produce 18psi, and as soon as it loads up off the line, it spikes to max boost. I was...
