33 Coupe Transmission 4        8/22/03

Here is the transmission going through some weight reduction. Really the idea here is to make a little more clearance for things like headers. There were three large pieces that got the axe (one on the other side) and are going to be ground down flush with the case (or to the red lines). There is also a rib down the center that saw the grinder as well.
 

 

 

This is what it looks like after some grinding and finishing. I'll be doing some sanding next.
 

 

 

I completely removed the rib that ran down the center. This rib was 3/8" to 1/2" tall in places.
 

 

 

You can see that I removed the rib from the front here too. I'll be giving this area a better finish because it will show when it's installed. The whole trans won't be polished because I don't know to many people that will be taking a mirror while under the car to see if the top looks nice or not.
