Shep 4 and ACT Twin Disk... finally.

[gofer]

My transmission destroyed itself Feb. 3rd and rather than getting it back on the road with a used M/T for cheap I decided to have Shep rebuild mine. I put in the order for a Shep stage 4 with an Evo III 1st gear and input shaft, LSD, REM ISF process, and 4 spider center diff and 3 weeks after I shipped it I got it back.

After I got the transmission I decided that my ACT 2600/street disk combo was hating its life seeing 400 ft/lbs tq at the track. That, and the clutch had been on the car since May '08 and I didn't want to be dropping the trans again. I knew I wanted a twin disk so I could pre-load everything at the tree, that way I didn't break shit with my Hoosiers under the car. Anyway, after shopping around I decided I'd stay faithful to ACT and get one of their new twin disk's that is capable of holding 750 ft/lbs tq so basically this clutch is going to think my cars a big ####y.

Shep also recommends, on higher horsepower applications, a 50/50 mix of Redline MT90 and lightweight gear oil so thats what I went with. The heavy weight is for the rear end once I get my FF rear diff cover, this can be seen here if you're interested. ---> 2G DSM Rear Differential Cover | Frontline Fabrication
Wish I had $1k lying around so I could buy EVERY part FF offers for the 2g, Andrews work is just amazing.

Nothing shifts like a Shep tranny. I wish you the same luck that I have had with mine. It makes you feel better knowing you'll hit every gear as you rip through them.

Same, interested in how the twin disc perform. Anyhow, glad you're out of jack stand baller status

Keep us updated on how everything works out. Along with everyone else, I'm interested in the clutch.



I wish the transmission I just put in looked as purdy as that one.

That is super sick! One day I too will have the pleasure of owning a Shep trans. Shep is the BEST!

I run the same setup. Shep stage 4 with the ACT twin. awesome. Just got done breaking the clutch in a few weeks ago. Shifts great. Loven it! Probably the best money I've put in the car other than FP turbo.
Let me know how things work out for you!
