Re: Where to get a reman 1275 rib-cage tranny
Thanks for the replies! I just ordered one from Quantum.
I do realize that these transmissions are not know for being quiet. I had thought about converting to a 5 speed earlier, but it would have required too many major mods to keep the chassis stong enough to support the added weight of the batteries. I did open up my eBay tranny before I installed it in the car to clean it up and check it out. It was diffinitely well used but I figure it would work to debug the car and get it going. I have put about 1000 miles on it with the electric drive. The only real problem with it, other than noise, is that it sometimes pops out of first.
Hopefully the reman tranny will be quieter, but at least it will have new first and second gears, as well as bearing, seals, etc. For in town driving with the electric motor I usually only use first and second, so hopefully by putting in the reman now, I will not have problems in the future. If I do, I least I will have a spare that I know works.
Thanks again!!!
