The clutch slips now and then. Probably due to the heat variations whenever the beans are given. I'll be getting the UUC twin disk. Let's do a case study to see if tsweers89 really knows what he is talking about.

Still trying to find the UUC Twin disc clutch... It's not in the basement or in the couch.
Anyone have a good condition g260 trans? Mine is noisy when the clutch is out. Yes, I do have a new TOB. I'm guessing bad bearings inside the trans. It was noisy before the turbo.
Or should I put new bearings in my trans? It has close to 300,000 on it.

Thats the "Getrag rattle" (worn layshaft bearings). Mine does it a bit too, nothing any normal passenger in the car would notice. How bad is yours? As im sure you are aware it isnt anything to be concerned with other than the annoyance of the noise.
There is/was a guy on the east coast that sold rebuilt transmissions (primarily for specE30) for about $800. Search for it on r3v

See the classifieds on specE30.com, great rebuilds but price is now up to $1200!

Mine is really loud and I don't know if I want to pay "That Company" that much money for old arse parts...

100$ zf trans from dons sports cars(google them) and get the DS at the same time. Refresh the shift detents, seals, and throw that puppy in, and make some POWAAA
Won't I have to get a 2.93 diff?

I got your back on that.

As in you have a 2.93 LSD?
I have also read that you can put an extra LSD clutch in the stock diff?

Yes. for more lockup. you don't NEED a 2.93, but it would be a little nicer. Would be a good winter project though! And it will help the squirly-ness on straight line beans giving. The clutch packs, not the ratio.
but seriously throw the getrag out. no need when zf's are better and cheaper.

Zf would be worth the couple extra pounds.
Yes, I do have another 2.93.

Got a 2.79LSD from GunMetalGrey. Now doing research on ZF swaps now with a focus on which driveshaft to use. Any input from y'all would be great.
Ordered a twin disk UUC clutch over the shopping weekend. Had a special deal going on. Got a t-shirt, clutch stop, Evo-3 shifter, braided slave cylinder line for free plus $100 off the order.
Gearing up to make this a reliable freeway ride. Taking it cross country this summer.
