Just ordered a RPM Stage 4 M12 transmission to go along with the rear diff, clutch, and trans/diff brace that I have going into the car.

This should take care of everything in the drivetrain. Hope to move on to getting new tires, and my wheels put on the next go-round of mods.

congrats man...it kinda sucks you got a vette and still gotta upgrade that stuff. one would think that being a vette chevy would at least put a 9" rear end in there.

I know. I just want to make sure that I don't have any issues later.

Thanks! I don't know...Gary has a fast car, and I think it will only turn more into monster as time goes by.

Yeah...I didn't want black either, and chose the Competition Gray. I kind of like the small difference in contrast.

I am also having the Tq Tube bushings upgraded to a bigger size. I hope to have to do this only once, and figured it would be wise to have everything taken care of while it was apart.

The tunnel plate was something extra I wanted to try.

I cant wait to see this Vette in action, Todd you can borrow my MT/Drags once you get it all together. Todd is doing this all the right way and I will use his upgrades as a diagram for mine when I start my rear build.

Hahahaha...with what this is costing me, I may be staying at Motel 6 for awhile until the wifey cools down.

I wasn't planning on doing the transmission, but the time it would take to pull it back out, seperate the Tq tube, shifter linkage and diff and reinstall just about pays for 1/2 the transmission costs.

That's how I justified it...at least to myself! :D

Its not the money spending issue with me, its the time spending my wife gets more hot about.

Typically in the past, I did all of my own work on any of the cars I have had short of tuning, so I would hear about the time issue as well.

But with the vette, I haven't had the proper tools/equipment to tackle this stuff by myself...so I just hear about the costs.
