How to Rebuild & Modify High-Performance Manual Transmissions
How to Rebuild and Modify High-Performance Manual Transmissions breaks down the disassembly, inspection, modification/upgrade, and rebuilding process into detailed yet easy-to-follow steps consistent with our other Workbench series books. The latest techniques and insider tips are revealed so an enthusiast can quickly perform a tear-down, identify worn parts, select the best components, and successfully assemble a high-performance transmission. Transmission expert and designer Paul Cangialosi shares his proven rebuilding methods, insight, and 27 years of knowledge in the transmission industry. He guides you through the rebuilding process for most major high-performance transmissions including BorgWarner T10 and super T10, GM/Muncie, Ford Toploader, and Tremec T5. This new edition also contains a complete step-by-step rebuild of the Chrysler A833 transmission.
In addition, the book clearly explains theory, gear ratio calculation, synchro function, and gear design features so you possess the know-how to build the best gearbox. Clutch selection and setup as well as shifter modification are also covered. This revised edition is packed with 450 photos, charts, and illustrations, so you can get most out of your manual transmission.
