Default Re: Getrag 440/446 parts.

This is a little OT, but I just went through a rebuild of my 6-speed by Kormex. While I was at it, I had all of the internal parts cryogenically treated and shot-peened to try and improve the strength and durability of the parts. If the trannys are one of the weak links in the car and I'm adding substantial HP, then I would rather take the time and $$ now to try and avoid doing another rebuild. The total additional cost for all of that including transportation of the parts back and forth across the country was about $400-$500. Hopefully I won't need the parts again, but I'm interested and may start buying them if they become available. I plan to drive this car until I can no longer pass the driver's test.
Thanks for all of the good effort.
