your tranny can't be fixed...you should immediatly remove it from your car and ship it to me.

























or i could just be jealous and want a ruf 5 spd. lol

There is a Ruf 5 speed available from a shop in Singapore for less than 8k, that is apparently a good deal.

pete77930

yeah, but im not droppin 8k for one more cog... i know you gotta pay to play, but im done payin and still havin fun, I really want another gear but not for the price of a 944, or a really nice e30 3 series convertable, or another sportbike...you see where im goin with this...maybe one day ill break down and do it. maybe.

Brett,

Here's pwr's latest ruf rebuild to give you an idea what may be required to restore one dependent on subjected power level and application. Due to metallurgy issues
RUF trans cases are not as strong as the original 4 spd. Though they may continue to function nominally, like yours, they can in fact require in some circumstances - 10k miles of extreme use in a PWR package engine EFI-II car in this case - their vendor supplied remachining/bushing of every running/bearing mating surface as you can see in this example wherein shaft end float became so excessive that reverse gear ground into the inside of the nose cone. As shifter shafts run in bare alloy in the original application, I'd encourage you to consider bushing those points as depicted in the 3rd and 4th image panels to retore/ ensure continued shifting accuracy.

You can contact Pat Williams Racing through the website or at (901) 373 1337.
