Default Re: Getrag 440/446 parts.

Tooling/molds/metalurgy/etc would be a pretty expensive path to take to make these ourselves. We really need to hope Getrag keeps production up on these, or else we are screwed.

I am not saying it would be cake, but if I ever blow the tranny and cant get parts I will figure a way to do a swap even if I have to make it rwd instead of awd. Haveing imporved parts and maybe some nice case bands would be great, but if we lose these trannys it wont take long for some of us to figure out a solution. Alot of stuff has been figured out/made by the ppl here. So don't think its the end of our cars. Maybe just a newpath.
