Default Rev Tech drop in 6 speed
Rev Tech drop in 6 speed....Anyone got one? I understand they are a lot less than the SE or Baker DD6.

And they are made in Korea. Research and development is in the states.

I herd that the rev techs where decent, and I think they are true overdrive, the bakers are direct drive, but you do get a new gear to help make it an overdrive, seams like I read they are actualy made over seas too not that I care!!!

My opinion from experience is RUN AWAY!!!!!! They don't call them revcrap for nothing. Some people may have had some luck with their products but not me. Every single piece has been junk and has not handled any mileage. This has been my experience with at least 175 of their engines and trannys. If it was me I would just spend the money and get it done right the first time.

Baker has a 5 yr/50k warranty. What does Rev tech have?

It's a lot of work to change out the trans and/or trans gear set. I would prefer to do it only once personally.

I just googled Rev Tech transmissions, they have 5yr/50K on them, so apperently they don't think there junk!
