What goes into building the stock transmission stronger; it’s a question I’m sure many people have asked but most haven’t had answered other than the standard “buy better parts” answer. Stronger shift forks, upgraded gear sets and other parts that are extremely expensive through aftermarket businesses. What about the DIY guys , like myself, that are interested in learning to build one themselves by sourcing the correct parts from reputable sources? The best place to start figuring out what the process is for me is to search and ask questions on here since I know I always either find what I’m looking for or you guys point me in the right direction. In the long run I’m not sure if it’d be cheaper to just buy a stage 2-3 trans from somewhere or a used(I usually don’t see many but they’re usually $$$) or build a similar stage trans myself. Figuring out which parts that need to be upgraded is part of the learning process which others have learned through trial and error which helps others. I’m hoping that those who’ve built or are in the process of building a better and stronger transmission will share what there’re learning or what they’ already learned here on Tuners. At my age I’ve found myself focused on my DSM which may or may not be a good thing.
