The day job has kept me pretty busy since the stock market started doing its yo-yo action in October.
Based on casual browsing of the threads, it appears that not a whole lot has changed in here while I’ve been working! ;-)
In any case, if any of you G28.13 owners are nursing losses after selling your stock and going short in December, having done the opposite I can pay you good money for your transmission! ;-) I am also interested in good condition non-LSD boxes as long as they are G28.13s with those turbo-friendly gear ratios.
For some reason my inbox here is full, so sellers please email me (if you’ve got the hookup) or respond to this thread.

Dang it, I wish you'd just go with the C7 Z06 manual drivetrain.
You'd never have to worry about breaking it, plus as a bonus, it's a 7 speed.

are you going to have special cryo treatment to harden the gears......?????? I think I remember you talking about that.....is the engine ready now.....or have you been driving it since the build...?

It's a science experiment, not a car. The car is now drivable once a transmission is installed. I say "a" not "the" transmission because I'm pursuing a number of avenues to get a transmission there. Engine is as ready as it'll ever be, completely ready from one perspective and in early innings from another perspective. The main control problems have been solved adequately but one could further tinker with both hardware and software.

It appears you have been making progress on the "squirter" system. Can you give me an update about what I need to do regarding this?

Sent you an email. You can assume that you'll get an AN hose connection from the pump flowing cool oil. The hose is -8AN but it's no problem for us to adapt it down to smaller size. You can fab/use whatever oil spray setup you think is best. Posting this here as well because some other people may be interested in these transmission options.

Anyone selling more of these trannies?
Here’s some life extension equipment for the transmission:
Sell me your five speed and after a couple of months of dyno runs it’ll be in the same condition as this minor Florida celebrity:

I walked through the engine room, there's always a cart of transmission bits arrayed neatly on blue paper, meh. This cart of pieces makes you stop and stare. So shiny. Hopefully it'll make a meaningful difference.
