IMHO it will cost you more in parts to fix it, if you can get them. It's unusual to hear of a NH tranny going, just like it's unusual to hear of a Beetle transaxle going. I power-shifted my Beetle trans regularly, with nary a problem; however, I was good at it and never miscalculated a shift. And that was with a better than stock engine, packing enough power to beat a Mitsubishi with 142 HP, who recognized my car about six months later and told me of the incident and accusing me of not hving a stock engine in my car. It was only a 1776 cc with a high torque cam and dual Weber carbs. I did a static balance: rods, pistons, and wrist pins, to within a quarter of a gram. I also "cc'd" the heads and made them as equal as possible, off by a cc or two, if I can be that accurate with water in the chamber.
It did run smoothly. One could see daylight under the front tires if I popped the clutch in 1st without weight in the front end (bag of sand, 50 lbs., x 2). ________________________________ From: Joey Kelley <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, April 6, 2011 7:30:51 PM Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] in too deep? transmission replacement question Dan, What is the tranny going to cost you total - shipping and such included?
