The tranny for the SHO has one major design flaw, the differential. It is held togher with small roll pins that can break, when they do the cross pins eject from the side gears and exit out through the case side, say good by to your tranny.
There are two fixes, one you weld supports onto the pins , its cheap and it works but its still an "open" style rear. The next option is a Quaife, http://www.quaife.co.uk/What-is-a-Qu...B-differential not cheap and hard to come by for the SHO. Quaife only makes a run of 25 ( or more) when they have enough prepaid buyers waiting. Last year I got on the tail end of this and got the last one. So until atleast another 25 people can come up with the cost ( $1300.00 each ) no more SHO Quaifes differentials.
The other bad part is all the syncros are obsolite, sometimes you have to go through a couple trannys to get a good set. Luckly my tranny had low miles and everything was okay in it.
So anyway the projrect is moving along, stuff is going back together as it gets blasted and painted. All the welding and fabrication is done. so its mostly bolt together stuff for the next few weeks.
