how does it drive though? It may sound like somethings messed up, but does it FEEL that way to?

It drives perfectly fine. I have beaten on it and it shifts like butter at 9300

So ultimately, does anyone think it's a sound that can be fixed?

my comp twin was making similar noises when I would press in the pedal, had a quick question, is there covers for the inspection ports in the bell housing, bc they are freaken huge and a lot of noise could be coming from there, I know it wont make a big difference but I dont want dirt and crpa flying in there also

Here's the part numbers for the inspection covers. It was in that parts list for the shifter.

31123-14020 - Inspection Cover31121-14030 - Inspection Cover90080-11228 - Bolts for inspection covers (4 are needed)

thanks

I have my inspection covers on and its still pretty loud, the getrag transmissions are known for being loud with a lightened flywheel. I trimmed the inside of my center console and it no longer touches in 3rd or 5th. Keep the radio door up and its perfect!

I wired in my speedohealer and I just need to get the calibration right otherwise this is a painless swap.

would a shifter extender (like the one moddiction sells for stock thread pattern, not as long) fix the slight height difference?

Twin Disc $2,000
Flywheel $500
FB Conversion Kit 1,000
V160 $5,000

This all going to cost about $8,500, that sound right? I bet with a FB rear and the V160 I would run 10's all day. Hoping to get this going during the winter for next summer
