That's good info.

Realistically, if I were looking at picking up a new tranny, I'd probably buy a used AP2 and consider rebuilding or at least inspection.

I'd love to have my 4.77s with and AP2 tranny. But if a supercharger ever showed up, a tire width upgrade would no doubt be necessary.

Thats a very good idea, always inspect the tranny. You never know what could be wrong with it. Check all contact of the teeth and the synchros, it's always easier to have the tranny out the rebiuld than for the mechanic to have to drop it and rebuild it. Let me know if you guys need any help with your rebuilds.

You could always go with the upgrade from AJ-Racing by using the Carbonetic Final Gear in the tranny. By doing this you basically get a AP2 tranny with your AP1 and using your AP1 case. A much more cost effective way, you have to get a AP2 secondary shaft in order to use this. It can be found here:
