krenzy Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Ok, so by the end of this week, I'm having my transmission professionally rebuilt, and I want to install a Phantom Grip LSD. For those of you who are unaware of what that is, it is basicly a front wheel drive limited slip differential. I'm curious about those who have one, those who know of anyone who has one, and basicly anything anyone can comment on about these. http://www.phantomgrip.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 can anyone remember the disastrous thread about using a phantom grip in a getreg? at 5000 miles debris from the cluthes of the LSD had eroded the entire rest of the transmission, rendering it unrebuildable???? I want to say the TGP forums had a link... but I don;t know. someone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say the TGP forums had a link... but I don;t know. someone know? I wanna say that there was a similar thread to what you describe over on Pennocks, but I'm not sure where I read it. I do remember that there were several people that wouldn't ever touch it again after experiences just like you describe. Based on that, I'd stay away from it Lemme go see if I can find the thread... Edit: found a thread with pics of the carnage, but I'm not sure it was the thread I read before... unfortunately, I can post the link cause I don't have the requisite 100 posts yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderw31 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/082235.html Add the www to the front of that and you shoudl be good to go. As I mentioned, this isn't the thread I originally read, but it does show pics. A quick search over there turned up a few people that really disliked the design concept...

blackbombshell95 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Swear to god. I'm a sucker for people trying to rip me off. First Jeremy, and well, maybe EP if they don't ship. When will it stop? I don't doubt he has the trans done. But this dude needs to make an effort to ship. I don't want to ruin this thread. But EP > Phantom Grip. Yet EP = years to take to ship.

File charges with the Better Business Bureau. I've talked to him over the phone. They answer the phone. I have no doubt that I will get it. He just takes forever. That is all.

19Cutlass94 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Well still let me know when you get it and how it is. I dont mind waiting a long time for parts. Its just about what happens every time I order shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krenzy Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 See I NEED a transmission and extremely soon so I think I'll avoid the EP route, though I DEFINATELY want to know how it turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbombshell95 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 ZZP or wbodystore can do a rebuild for our 4t60e's. You just need to give them a call to get it all sorted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krenzy Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I need a rebuild for the 4T60, not the 4T60E though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfewtrail Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I need a rebuild for the 4T60, not the 4T60E though... They can rebuild them too. ZZP uses the shop I told you about the other day. That shop they use has plenty of experience rebuilding transmissions and transaxles. They can likely build the 4T60 to hold up to whatever you want to throw at it...I know they've built 4T60-E's that have held up in 11 second FWD cars for what it's worth. The 60-E transaxles are just updated versions of the 4T60(just like the 65-E is basically an updated 60-E). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krenzy Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Quick question, may sounds dumb, but I don't knwow here it is: Where is the differential on the 4T60 trans anyways? Inside the tranny? On the outside? Anyone have a pic of where it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
