At the end of Sept, I have a 2 day track even at Mt Tremblant with NEQ/NAAC.

I can no longer get the transmission into 2nd when shifting from 1st, but I can get into 2nd when downshifting (with rev-matching) from 3rd; albeit with allot of effort to get out of 2nd again.

I had consulted with NoahD, who had been to that track, to determine if I <i>really</i> need 2nd gear.

So, I can get to work 1st gear to 6000rpms, shift to 3rd, wait for ~2000rpms....for now.

It's a ~450 mile journey to Mont Tremblant, 2 days of tracking, and ~450 home....unless I stop in Montreal for a day.


So, it's inevitable that Stasis will be supplying my rebuild (wife has already been warned).....but I am still hoping to put this off until the 1st week of Jan, when I go on a vacation.

Crazy plan? I have a short 10mile daily commute, so it's pretty easy to manage with no 2nd, just annoying.

Drool...new tranny

Should I do the LSD? Is it worth it?

Is it just a LSD from a <a href="http://www.stasisengineering.com/Admin/PdfFile/Rear%20LSD%20install.pdf">944 gt</a> as the pics in the <a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/misc38.shtml">old installation guide may lead you to believe? </a>

1) not worth the risk of breaking down and needing a tow home
2) breaking down will kill your track weekend
3) more damage to the tranny might occur on the track = less core deposit you get back from Stasis
4) the track day seems like the perfect time to test out your new tranny (close ratio?)/ 4:1 center diff

Valid. I hope my shop can do the job before the show....and I need to see if Stasis trans in stock

no 1st and 2nd gear at all at the track.

get er done.

all those updated syncros were updated for a good reason. the stockers suck and wont take the added heat of a track day.

The handicap might prove to be a good learning experience.

Since Stasis is 3-4 weeks on backorders (waiting for cores)
