Not sure if that's what you're looking for. I don't think I'd buy from them though. Nemo used to seem like a good guy, but like many of the other SRT-4 vendors, bit off more than he could chew, couldn't keep up with things, screwed some people out of money, etc.
LOL @ thinking anyone ever made anything for the Stratus.

Ya, I think Rage-Tek are the only ones. I don't think they've had enough out and beaten on to get a good feel for how well they worked. I would really like to get into a DB but it's a serious investment. I've thought a bit about designing one into the 568 frame but I never thought there would be enough serious interest with the high price.
I don't think there were really enough cars putting out enough power to warrant the expense. The few that were, went with the $8k built 31TH from DCR.
I think at the power levels JT is at (500-600whp?), most were getting by with an ACT stage whatever clutch, and some upgraded axles with the T850. Maybe a T850 would be a better choice over the 568 if you want to stay manual?
If you could actually get *new* parts for these trannies, they might hold up better. Now all you can get is bearings, seals and the odd synchro if you are lucky.
i give you credit JT for sticking to a bang box!!!! few hurdles to jump over but ull get it.... hey and if u cant find'em, grind'em!!!!
If he goes auto, i'll hit him.
I'll try to get shep to build him a trans before going auto.
"I'll give you anything you'll ever need and I'll find a way to turn you into a monster."
Yeah cuz his are bullet proof
A DSM trans would probably be the last thing I would put in there

OK, opened it up tonight in plans to fix it and get it back together for Monster Mopar... found more than I expected and I dotn have a press at home so I can't get it fixed in time... so decided not to rush it and take the Shadow instead.
Why didnt 2nd gear work? maybe shift fork movement? Offset wear on pads... noticed the fork moves ont eh rod pivoting about the pin. OR mayeb 2nd gear is just too F/U to work well anymore?
Before going back together I need to:
1 - put the damn race back on the intermediate shaft and use more green glue or TIG glue
2 - swap out 2nd and 3rd gears for better used spares (THANK YOU AGAIN DEAN! ) I think there was a fresher stop ring in there too!
Pics...

1990 and 1991 A568 3-4 shift fork and pad differences. 1990 pads look like typical U-channel pad design, 1991 look like a "tie-fighter" shape. Hard to see but the 91 pad material reduction was directly due to added steel on the fork.

Interesting on the fluid, they took out the rating for 10w30?
Nice carnage on the synchro teeth, and congrats on the times, with no 2nd gear, impressive,

They are actually quite bulletproof these days. I've seriously only had a few issues, mostly from learning and one catastrophic failure when I split the case, lol.
Maybe get a real tranny builder to build it,
Right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
