Richmond 5spd help !
Does anyone have a Richmond 5spd that they have had blueprinted, mine has 4,000 miles and still shifts like ****. I am pulling the tranny this winter and would like to get recommendations on a company/person to go through it. Not that it’s a bad trans for normal street driving, however, power shifting ain’t its thing.
Thanks for any suggestions recommendations etc., Joe |
TTT
anyone ? |
REPLACE IT...
I'm sorry to report that I had similar problems with my Richmond as well:CRY: . Two complete rebuilds later I came to the conclusion that it was a hearty 'ole tranny but speed shifting or just plain old faster-than-normal shifting were not it's cup of tea. I now have a TKO II and OH MY GOSH the difference is unbelievable:D!!! I can snatch gears faster than I could ever even dream of with the Richmond. My suggestion is instead of doing what I did (1K later between two rebuilds with no improvement) - REPLACE THE DARN THING IF YOU WANT PERFORMANCE and sell your Richmond for 1K to somone who wants a good stout street oriented tranny. Best wishes! BTW, I'll give you $450 for it.:rolleyes: |
Cracker,
That is one option that I have been considering, thanks for the reply. |
Hi Joe, Pequa Joe here. You know I have the same tranny in the ERA it's a good strong unit, but not for what you're going to be building. You'll be much more happy with the new TKO, I know I was Sat.
