Transmissions costs and issues????? Help!!!
 

Hello everyone...it's me, the D-Man...hope everyone is doing well. I have been avoiding the Board due to the constant harrassment of the Phantom!!!!!

I have a huge question and need some expert advise. I just trashed my Huber Transmissions on my Cigarette. From what I was told, my trannie needed a complete rebuilt....the only thing left standing was the casing.

How much should it cost for a complete trannie rebuild if you were building the trannie for 1100 or 1200 horsepower with over 1,000 foot pounds of torque???? The trannies are coupled to number six drives.

I just received the scoop on the cost and I am still in shock...so if anyone has an educated clue, please fill me in and again, assume it needs everything new except the casing and build it for serious power.

I am real curious and I want to hear some solid information on who is good at rebuillds and a ballpark figure on how much it should cost me.

I will announce the quote I received further down in the thread....I do not want to influence any guestimates.

Much appreciated,

DMan....and the D is for....the cost of this repair is Devastating, Disheartening and extremely Distasteful...the same Discription all the girls use when talking about the Phantom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 D's....not bad for the first time in months!!!

Congratulations DMan :D

And the "D" is for Daddy :cool:

Sorry to hear it d-man. PM Primal Instinct (Curt) and he can give you the scoop. Good luck NK

Thanks Cig 1....thought it was still a secret!!!!!

DMan

Come on guys....somebody must have an idea as to pricing out a rebuilt trannie?????

DMan

I have no idea, I would bet $7,000 or so. That would not include pullling the drive and motor.

DMan,

Met you at the SCOPE Kick-Off. Sorry to hear about the tranny, but sounds like a new project arrived?

Congrats:D

If everything is gone but the Case dedcut $400 to $600 from new. I would say around $2600, my two were just 4675 for 1500 Series, and they re-used some of the parts. I am assuming yours are a version smaller.

You trashed both of them at the same time??:confused:

D-Man.
Might I suggest a call to Bill Proctor and Offshore-Performance.com. 410-827-0200

They have two 'house' Cigs with twin 1200HP motors. I was out on one early last season when we 'dismissed' a transmission at 85 mph. The techs there are top notch, and I know you would have a few notes to trade.

I have no idea about how much that would cost you, but do you really think that you will have any time to take out RWD this summer?? :D

Can't you just tape it together?


Congrats!!

And the D is for use DUCT tape!! :D :D

Oh yeah!!!! :D :D :D You'll have no time anyway, and no fair using some of the money from the DevilBaby shower!!!!


Nort: (And the "D" stands for "he Doesn't know how to throttle!"

Upgrade and a long story.

You didn't blow them trying to keep up with Norty did you??:eek:


"D" is for dollars trying to get out of your wallet!:( :D

time for a upgrade

I did !!!;) :D

don carter from offshore performance specialities in sarasota has used huber 1200,s for around $1000.00. i know where they come from in fact a good freind of mine rebuilds them for the navy and most of them have less than 200 hours when don gets them. give them a call it will be your cheapest way out.

Thanks for the input guys....the total rebuild is going to run around $2600!!!!! That was done at Bam. I have run Hubers for years and had great success so I am biting the bullet this time (no Choice). Hope everyone is doing well except for the Phantom!!!!!

Take care,

DMan

We put the BAM super cyborg 1500 trannys in ours when we put the 6's on last summer and so far they've been great...see ya on the water D-MAN.

Since I've gone to BAM's 1500 drysumps they've been living. The " dry sump" also makes the level less critical and easier to check. I think the conversion is about $700.00 a crack:rolleyes: but they've got 30 hard hours on them and they still smell good. The six blades with the 20 deg. rake really load those suckers up on re-entry but so far so good.

Ouch!

and the D is for Devil Daddy :) Congrats Ron..
ps. boy or girl throttleperson in training?
