Ben Calimer Stage 4 MT-82

[16RPG_Turbo]

They sent it to me with Motul 75-90. 500 mile break in and then oil change. I’m at about 400 miles now. I still throw it in 2nd and then 1st and no issues since doing that.

@16RPG_Turbo what fluid is Calimer recommending in his stage 4 build?

Please keep us posted on how it performs for you, as you begin to put it through its paces.

My Calmier stage two transmission cost with a Mcleod hyd. line was $3857.00 and I will get a $500.00 core refund, and they pay the return shipping. $3357.00 is reasonable price in my opinion.

Seems reasonable enough if it shifts well. Local shop charges $500 for all the brass bits and full carbon synchros on an mt82. $600 labor and then extra for what ever sliders or gears have damage.

A new in the box from tremec T56 XL is $3500. Believe McLeod came out with a bell housing adapter that's cast aluminum like stock for $300 vs the $1200 generally listed for the steel ones if trying to piece a swap together.

I already have a DDS aluminum drive shaft in the car and if I bought other transmissions, I would have to buy a new drive shaft and that helped me go with Calimer, plus I have the Barton shifter.

Same, I already had the clutch, driveshaft, and MGW shifter. If the Stage 4 gives out I'm going with the T-56....
