I'm in the middle of a 3L swap and am tearing into the trans as well, since the car is my dd, I'm using the trans from my defunct 99 SE V6, and tonight, I took the plunge and tore it open. I plan on replacing the diff with either a torsen or quaife (haven't decided which yet) and plan on updating the shift forks to the newer style with the roller bearings or whatever. I'm including some pics I took tonight of the gearsets (specifically the synchros/blockers) looking for input on whether they look bad enough to replace, if you can tell from the pics. The car it's going in will be a 00 SVT, and the engine is an 04 ported 3L with extra port/polish work done and headers, running a new stock clutch/flywheel combo. I got the clutch kit so I have a new slave cylinder as well. Open to input/suggestions, but money is becoming an issue on this. On with the pics:
First up, my diff and the magnet in the case
Now on to the synchros/blockers
Also, I remember seeing at one time a real nice how-to on rebuilding one of the tranny's, and I thought it was in the how-to's on the main page but can't seem to find it, if I remember it had the part numbers for the revised shift forks, can anyone help me out on that as well?
