It'll be the same as mine so yes. But keep in mind every set of ppg gears can sound different.

Thanks Don.

I'll have the Baja tomorrow. The tech overhauling the trans made sure that everything is moving the right way inside the case before he closes it up. I might have been able to get it back today , but he didn't want to rush. One of the guys said "You know this thing is probably going to sond like a dump truck going down the road." I can only hope.

it will sound like a geo metro in reverse going down a mountain with a huge purple hippo on the hood drinking pink kool-aid

Subie_sleeper · 09-15-2008, 10:44 PM

yayyyyy!

Subie_sleeper · 09-16-2008, 10:53 AM

The case is going back in today! There is a concern that the gears are a little tight inside the case though. After a 20 minute phone call with Andrew from Andrewtech , the plan is to put it back together and run it. If something bad happens Andrew is going to take care of it. Seriously kick ass customer service! We'll see what happens.

Subie_sleeper · 09-16-2008, 04:40 PM

Woo Hoo!!! Uber loud gears work!

After some initial concern from the techs here I called Andrew and told him what the case was doing. He says everything sounds normal. I'm heading down there on Saturday. he agreed to meet up for lunch and to drive the BAJA! Life is good.

Subie_sleeper · 09-16-2008, 10:16 PM

Well , the case is breaking in. I'm driving as carefully as I can. There is still a lot of noise in 1st gear and the syncros are pretty stiff. I hope it makes it down to Andrewtech on Saturday. Everyone can feel free to start the I told you sos. LOL One of these years I'll learn something the easy way.

Rob, if it is tight going into gear, don't sweat it... Thats normal

Subie_sleeper · 09-17-2008, 04:21 PM

Andrew and Dan are driving up here tomorrow morning. They are bringing everything necessary to fix the trans. Both think that I got a bad 1st and 2nd set. There is Definately something wrong. Andrewtech has the best customer service ever. I'm covering their gas and taking them to lunch. That's all they want.

**Ender81** · 09-18-2008, 08:30 AM

You're lucky they are that good lol.

All is well. 1st has been replaced and nothing else was wrong. I should be rolling again tonight!

It wasn't just tight it was near impossible lol.

Subie_sleeper · 09-18-2008, 06:12 PM

News flash. The tech suggested replacing the clutch , there was one in stock surprise surprise. I said ok. The old one was fractured and metal fell out! LMAO. $200 less 25% for the parts and a hell of a headache saved. Yay factory tech

Subie_sleeper · 09-19-2008, 02:13 PM

Just drove the Baja. It is just what I expected. Yay

Subie_sleeper · 01-11-2009, 12:53 AM

A friend helped me put my new Alphawerks header on today. 9 hours of HELL. The good news is everything is back together except my EGT probe. (tied off fur now) the bad news is that the garage door inadvertantly wound up on the hood. 5" gouge right up front. Retune then CF hood. :-)

Goddabob · 01-11-2009, 03:52 AM

Sorry to hear, if 9 hours of hell wasnt enough.

Atleast you have a reason to lighten up the front.
