Mine's still gathering dust waiting on cash for everything installing it MIGHT involve (New clutch? New or resurfaced flywheel? Synchros? Shift tower? Shift bearings? Shim/install kits? New motor mounts? Renting or buying a beater for while mine's torn apart?)

Aldridge Motorsports in NE Portland declined to give a quote or a referral. Beaverton Transmission and Bradshaw's Transmission in Portland were willing to try an install quoting about $900 labor plus parts, but I felt they'd not installed a quaife before. The WRX fans at Rallitek in SE Portland are eager and conversant on quaifes, but I'm still worried to have them use my car as a first time with an MTX-75: Would they recognize other problems needing attention? I did not call Rothsport, from my being busy on other stuff.

Mike Shotwell shipped his to Terry Haines and is happy with his (does he still have a cable issue?) but there's shipping costs two ways, removal/reinstall costs, car storage logistics and down time during shipment to figure.

IF you get some quotes from someone local who does know this tranny and LSDs, PLEASE contact me. PIR and Woodburn would be MUCH more fun this summer. Or will some shop cut a deal to do TWO cars?
