I am in need of a transmission builder to make my D-series Hybrid trans. I don't even know if what I want will work, so I need an experienced builder. I'd also like an opinion on the condition of the parts I want to use. I had asked this question many months ago on the old board, so I have no idea where the info is.

Name, contact info and location would be great.

Thanks!

D.

Turtle has an experienced Honda transmission builder that he and Compass360 Racing use. They call him Honda Tech, though I think his real name is Oram or something like that. Call Turtle for details. 416-565-0005

Do I actually call him Turtle, or does he have a real name? Is that his cell # or home?

The trans. are at Turtles shop. He says it will most likely be ready tomorrow!! Very cool. He is a super nice guy.

I am using a JDM 4.43 FD Integra ZXi trans. and he is installing the ZC 3rd, 4th and 5th gears. I'm also losing my KAAZ LSD in favour of a much more streetable Honda Factory LSD. I loved the KAAZ, but man it was tough to drive with.

Can't wait!!!

Thanks for the hookup Dave.

No problem, Super D. Hope your freaky D-series hybrid tranny works like a charm!

Well, I have to say a big thanks to Turtle:) for building my trans. so quickly. Dropped it to him on Tues. and picked it up today. He also found that the ZC trans I was using had a broken shift fork (yikes) so he removed it, used all the good parts from each trans. and built me a bad-ass D-series trans. I can't wait for the May 24th Solosprint at the DDT !!!(as long as I can get the rest of the car done.) :eek:

Big Thumbs up To Kenneth Lau, super nice to deal with and fast!
