Transmission options

[SGTsideways]

So im to the point where I will finally be making too much power for the stock sr transmission. Lots of people have opinions but I was hoping to get feedback from people who actually use different transmissions on their sr swap. Also if you could point me in the right direction to get the adapter kit/parts. The only place im really tracking as selling a conversion kit is mazworx. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I know your new buddy.. but try searching some more. There is a very recent thread about the z33 swap and all the goodies and intricacies that go into it.

It is the only and best choice for the SR currently.. Unless you can find a z32 trans and adapters on the cheap... but i wouldnt even waste your time.

^^Truth!^^

I just did a Z32 tranny swap due to the very same problem... Quite smart to not continue to shatter SR trannies in favor of something that will stand up to mucho abuso. However, playing requires paying.

What I ended up shelling out:

Tranny: $600
Mazworx Adapter kit: $1200 (got aluminum DS upgrade)
Xcessive shortened shift bracket: $150
SPL shifter bushings: $30
Nismo tranny mount: $80

**Plus minor nickels/dimes that accompany doing any major mod.

From scratch, a Z32 tranny swap will run you close to 2 grand no matter what adapter kit you decide to get.

As far as Z33 being the 'best and only' choice for the SR vs. Z32, I'm not sure I agree; but TBO, I don't know dick about Z33 swaps... and I'm sure there are miles of threads a search or two away as stated.

Xcessive manufacturing makes swap kits as well. They are slightly less expensive than the Mazworx kit.

Happy hunting~
