Typing this on my phone so I need to make sure what I say comes across clearly. If it doesnt, I apologize and will try to be as clear as possible.
I currently own a 98 GSX with a shit ton of mods. I bought it this way, if you have a problem with the built not bought crap, stop reading now, I’m new to cars and a buddy said he’d help and so far has been none. That being said, the motor is a 6 bolt swap with upgraded internals. I’ll have to go through the box of receipts to confirm the year the motor came out of. The transmission is a shepherd stage 2 I believe it is. Again, will have to go through receipts to confirm 100%.
I am building this car as an auto cross and track vehicle, first time I took it out I launched too hard and broke the center diff from what I can deduce.
I purchased a Team Racing Engineering built transmission from a friend with an impressive build sheet including the upgraded center diff that I need.
Now to my question: the TRE trans I bought is out of an earlier vehicle, a 91 I believe. Obviously the bell housings are different and I’ll have to change it, and I read here some other pieces will have to be swapped, but with the upgrades to the new trans I’m not 100% on what will have to go. If anyone could please help I’d greatly appreciate it. I’m not in a huge rush, so if swapping everything from one housing to another is all I need, then fantastic, if not what should I do.
***NOTE*** sell the trans and buy a different one isn’t a path I really want to go down unless I can get one of equal value and so far I’ve not seen one.
