Hey all...new to the forum here.Been wathcing for a while but finally reg'ed.Question is about the Stealth.Does anyone know if the new (newer) versions that they put in the AE's now are the same as the ones from BITD?? I know the basic platform is the same but could you say,bolt a newer one in an older vehicle or use the same gears ect??Thanks.Great forum BTW...great job to those in charge.

Nope. Not without modification. Check out out the tech forum...
there are some parts from the newer trans that'll work in the original. mainly the b4/t4 topshaft and slipper setup, and the diff bolt, t-nut, diff spring, thrust balls and washers. but that's about it.
additionally, the idler gear on the 2.40 trans-and-up has the bearings in the idler gear, not the trans case.
you can't put the guts of one ratio into another ratio's case, other than the top shafts, which uses the same size gear, ie, the diff and idler have to match the trans case.
Except for the topshaft and some diff internal parts, they don't share any parts, but the designs are so similar you could probably build one using a manual from another version.
I hadn't planned on showing this until I had a complete roller....but since it's slow....
I decided to build this one as a what-if car. If they chose the stealth car platform and made it available, there would have likely been a champ and a team...
Well, I threw a bid in on this car--and just forgot about it, figured I could salvage a few parts off it for one thing or another. And of course, I didn;t expect to win it with the bid I had in-
Turns out that this little bugger needed.

Really, and this is odd for me--I kinda like the scratches on this one. All the parts are pristine it's like someone built it, took it for 1 run then forgot about it.
I was a little worried one I realized I won it ( :oops: 3 days later :oops: ) but...
Hey guys, I recently installed a B4 top shaft in my black pan RC10T SCT conversion and my old B2 so I could run the updated slippers. All was well until last week when I was at the track and the truck's 2.25 Stealth started binding up. I pulled the...

A good wire brush works good for cleaning out the gears too. i do that every time i clean the transmission and i also use it for cleaning the spur and pinion gears when they get dirt in the gears.
I need some advice, I just picked up this A stamped goldpan, originally I was going to powdercoat and drill for a stealth but upon seeing the A stamp now i'm not so sure. One other thing that troubles me is that there are many scratches in the...

I've got the CRP collars shown in the first pics that I won't use and they do fit the associated shocks, I may consider selling them if there is any interest in them, they are in great shape, also may consider trades for a chassis or parts.
The '91 IFMAR champ had a very (perhaps most) unique suspension geometry during that era. For a variety of reason AE never released that exact design but the influence ever since is undeniable. Based on comparing photos of the B4 and '91 Stealth the...
I have been looking on ebay but they have been going high. I currently have 6 gear trany. I want to go stealth to prep the car for brushless. What are all the parts I need? Since so many items have been discontinued it has been hard...

it will cost double (or more) to piece one together than it would just buying a complete one on ebay.
