If a rebuild unit can handle the power your making and not have this problem happen down the road again then thats the option I would take. If not then spend the big bucks. ---

Have it rebuilt. It handled the power just fine, and unless you are going to turn it into a track whore, 5k is allot of money that may be better spent IMO. Good luck. ---

For those suggsting swaps - does the trans have a serial number or VIN on it? An additional $5,000 for the PPG unit over a rebuild seems only worth it if you seriously drag the car frequently. Given how you like to break stuff, it may be worth it :shrug: Depends on what you want to do with the car, how long you plan to have it etc. You could have this happen 3 more times for te same cost as the PPG unit. ---

> [@ubengineering](#): > > if you dont like turning or handling in tight corners then sure! > > theyre def the nicest and worth the most though i love you for that comment. better suit up kid. If it were me and I had the money I would go with the dog box. The price is on par with the “indestructable” SHO gear set as well. I guess gears are epensive to machine. My set is 6K for 4 gears and a input shaft W the option to delete 5th for track only cars. if you don’t like the gear whine then just add some sound insulation. ---

I’d go with the rebuild and put the 5k into something smarter. You said it wasn’t a power related failure. Of course I can’t see spending a lot of money in mods in the first place so my opinion is probably a bit biased.
