well if you really want to know. I went over kill on many items
all is new and I got dealer level discounts on most.

pedals were $75 my cost with the rod for the mastercylinder too
clutch master cylinder was $127.96 also my cost
basic shifter with console piece was like $150 from a friend with a connection
cables were arround $90 they come as one piece
the doner V6 manual trans was $275 shipped to the shop
the aluminum flywheel was $278 my cost ( I've seen them retail for almost 400)
the 4 puck ceramic clutch was just shy of 600 at cost from a friend
slave cylinder was included with the clutch.
I then found a trans that was set up for a quad 4 that had 3.94 final drive ratio, close ratio gears, and the extremely rare limited slip diff for $1800
took it and my orignal box to the trans shop.
had the gears cryo-hardend as well as the shafts this was $300
it was $500 to swap parts and do new bearings and seals

not cheap but I wanted to make sure I wouldnt break anything with my projected power output.

wow thats an expensive tranny, but i guess when u wanna hit those high HP levels that ur shooting for, price is second to quality and reliability.

exactly. I'd like to get some miles at of this too though
you could honestly do it for lots cheaper
I've talked to a few people abouyt this trans
turbo Z24 is prolly pushing 400 hp at the wheels on his car and all that has broke was his diff.
if you go with the limited slip unit like i have that problem is gone
gm also had a FWD salt flats car Q4 powered that made 400+ hp and did 200+ mph on a stock box.


also if you compare what I've spent to the built autos there is not much difference
