What's new
TRE will be taking a
few weeks off late this summer. The shop will be closed August 21st
through September 13th. All work that is here before August 16th will be
shipped before we leave. 06.22.10 TRE is now stocking
the JDM close
ratio 5th gearset
for the EVO-8/9 transmissions. This is the holy grail of 5th gears for an EVO
that is used for road racing because the rpm drop from 4th to 5th gear is
12.7% less. 7500rpm in 4th = 6000rpm in 5th with the .825 5th gear.
06.22.10 TRE is now stocking the
HKS 4.11 final drive gearset for
the EVO-8/9. The 4.11 final drive will approximately 10% more mph in
each gear, making it ideal for drag racing or for use with 2.3 stroker motors
that aren't revving to the moon.
06.08.10 TRE will be taking a
few weeks off late this summer. The shop will be closed August 21st
through September 13th. All work that is here before August 16th will be
shipped before we leave.
05.26.10 Four years ago we quietly started sending
parts out to get shot peened.
The results were amazing, gear tooth breakage issues seemed to vanish while at
the same time the surface finish of the gear teeth were looking like new even
after a season of use. Realizing the benefits from shot peening and how much
we
was spending to have parts shipped out to get done, we had to get one of those machines. After
looking for nearly a year one finally showed up at an auction that was
specially built for a college university and that’s what TRE is using to shot
peen. Recently we
decided to not only shot peen the parts that we use inside our transmissions
but to start shot peening all the highly stressed gears that we
sell. The reason for this is because most people are wanting to build a
stronger transmission but haven't heard of shot peening or they don't realize just how good
of a service shot peening really is in the first place. If you're looking to
rebuild your transmission you should buy your parts from us because they now come shot
peened and will prevent your transmission from giving up the ghost before you've had a
chance to completely kick its ass.
05.19.10
Hurry up and get your new transmission before the price increase on June
1st. I have seen a huge increase in the price of parts from
Mitsubishi and have had to raise some of the prices. If you have a
transmission that you're thinking about building you better get your ass in
gear and order some parts soon.
05.17.10 The land speed GVR4 went to El Mirage over the weekend but
didn't break it's old record because of a alternator belt letting go during
a 9800rpm no-lift-shift. There were several 200+ MPH passes made but the
lake bed was in rough shape, making the task of finding traction difficult
but the car picks up 14mph in the last 6 seconds of the run! The
transmission is now in it's 4th season of use. You can buy the exact
same transmission for your high power DSM here.
NEW
HOURS: 8am-5pm Tuesday -Friday. Closed Saturday-Monday.
recent news....
05.07.10 Updates have been made to the
Frequently Asked Questions
page.
05.01.10 There has been some increases in the pricing. This is
due to the fact I have more services that are standard in my rebuilds and
that I am starting to venture into other projects.
04.01.10
Recent article about the land speed
record holding GVR4
04.01.10
I added an
oiling upgrade for the EVO-4/9
transmissions. This greatly increases the service life of your EVO
transmission.
03.09.10
The EVO rear differential now can be upgraded with an
oil sight glass
that allows you to fill your rear diff with an appropriate amount of
oil to aid in longer life of the pinion bearings.
03.01.10 Added some additional
stuff to the
MAX-LOCK
service. The carrier cap bolts are now replaced and finally after
hearing enough people ask for shiny bolts they are included with this service.
New
transmission, transfer case & rear differential parts to be announced.
02.10 While I feel that high intensity shot peening
is going to offer the most value per dollar spent, I am now offering W.P.C.
& F.P.P. services but they must be sent out until I have another
shot peening machine so expect longer turn
around times if you choose to have them done.

CONGRATULATIONS TO VERNON AND THE CREW AT RAVER MOTORSPORTS
for their record
breaking 228 mph run at Bonneville Salt Flats located west of Salt Lake City.
The yellow GVR-4 went
228 mph on the salt over the weekend. They are using our
"high torque" transmission
which is ideal for stroker engines for the past 3 years without
failure. We expect it to exceed 230mph when it goes back to Bonneville this
October. UPDATE: They didn't get to make a record breaking pass.
Nothing transmission related.
#34 SCCA T2 transmission status
After nearly 2 full seasons of SCCA T2 road racing on
it, I just received back the transmission from the #34 EVO-9 that is owned
and driven by none other than Marty Grand. The only parts that
I am replacing are listed below.
All of the other parts are in perfect condition and will not be needing
replacement. If you are looking for a no-bullshit transmission that
can handle the task of road racing this is it.
As of April 1st 2009 we are accepting only one core per transmission
purchased.
As of January 2009 I am back in college and
will be open Tuesday-Friday.
TRE MACHINE SHOP SERVICES
We now offer machine shop services for those who are building their own
transmission. Check it out,

CONGRATULATIONS TO MARTY GRAND AND CJ
MOSES AND THE CREW AT VIP GARAGE
for their stellar
race season. TRE would also like to extend thanks to all the other shops
involved that did their part to make
Marty & CJ's 2008 race season a success: Thank you AMS, VIP, Carbotech
and JRZ and all the other people who gave support. Now these two are the
fastest EVOs in SCCA T2 and they are the running our STAGE 2 transmissions
and MAX-LOCK rear differentials in their EVOs. If you are serious about
racing your EVO and need a dependable drivetrain we are the shop that can
build it.
Jon the trans you put together has been in my car
since August of 07 and feels as good as the day I put it in. Thank you!!!
- Marty Grand #34 SCCA Nationals T2, NE Division Champion 2008
TRE has put together transmissions that have
lasted the test of time while being abused more than anyone could ever
imagine, not to mention the rear diff mod that finally allowed us to
dial-in throttle oversteer. - CJ Moses #58 2008 SCCA SE
Division T2 Champion
EXCHANGE SERVICE NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE MAX-LOCK We now stock low mileage MAX-LOCK rear differential
assemblies for the EVO-8/9. These are perfect for those who can't have
their EVO down for a week. Click

CONGRATULATIONS TO VERNON AND THE CREW AT RAVER MOTORSPORTS
for their record
breaking 216 mph run at El Mirage Dry Lake. I'm sure we'll see that GVR-4 make a 220+ mph pass as
soon as they take it back to the salt. They are using our standard "high torque" transmission
which is ideal for stroker engines. Just ask
us for details.
The
Galant VR-4 was driven by
Ron Cochran.
Hey Jon,
We made you proud! 216 mph
two-way average is the new G/PS record. Ronnie ordered a professional photo
for you of the car charging down the salt. As soon as it comes in we'll
forward it to you. The trans was flawless. We dyno'd 860 whp at 8600 rpm and
over 650 ft # torque with 48 psi from the GT42R, but our runs were down
150-200 whp since our ebc only got us 29 psi. That flying box has gone faster
than i ever thought possible AND there is obviously more potential still in
it.
With a little luck we'll reset
the El Mirage record in three weeks and get another 200+mph record.
Have a great weekend and we'll
talk to you soon,
Vernon of RaVer Motorsports
NEW GEAR RATIO
OPTIONS FOR THE EVO-4/9 5 SPEED Click
here to check
out the new gear ratios. We can custom tailor the gear ratios for your EVOs powerband.
EVOLUTION REAR
DIFFERENTIAL SERVICE
We
offer a whoop ass rear differential upgrade and yes you need it. Autocross EVOs are knocking over
a second off every 60 seconds of track length and road racers are achieving
quicker track times due to the ability to use the whole track and more
conventional suspension set-ups. This is no BS and if you think your EVO
is fast around a track just wait till you drive it after TRE has been through
it.
For a
limited time the MAX-LOCK and STU rear differential upgrades are on sale For more info
click here.
INCREDIBLE DEALS ON THE CURRENT SPECIALS PAGE
Most of these transmissions are tricked out with upgrades and options that
aren't standard in the transmissions on the EXCHANGE page. You will find
that most of them have 4 spider center differentials, shot peened gearsets,
double synchro EVO-III gearsets..
