    What's the difference between transmission 87218 and 88257

    That's a shitty deal!! I forgot a bearing when I put the new transmission in lol it fell out while I was putting the reverse in. Was wondering why my spur gear was moving soo much lol had everything all back together. That's ok i can tear it apart and put it back together faster next time lol.

    Here's the gears from the transmission that came with the truck. They're a little sloppy but nothing broken or chipped. I put my reverse module into the new one and it still makes a grinding noise when the brakes are lightly engaged. I can't believe it's supposed to do that when the brakes are...

    I did open them up and turn the tires and they both sound fine. That doesn't mean it can't be it just really sounds like it's in the tranny. If not I'll find out tomorrow when I get the new one.

    What's the difference between transmission 87218 and 88257

    Yeah I'm sure something is pretty messed up. When I apply the brakes it still grinds but only when the brake is engaged lightly. I'm not going to mess around with it. I'll it just wait for the new one. Just anxiously waiting to bash the thing!! I really appreciate all the help from you guys I'd...

    Yeah I'm sure something is pretty messed up. When I apply the brakes it still grinds but only when the brake is engaged lightly. The spur gear has like an 1/8-1/4" play when I wiggle it. I'm not going to mess around with it. I'll it just wait for the new one. Just anxiously waiting to bash the...

    What's the difference between transmission 87218 and 88257

    I'm fairly positive there were 3. So I now will have a 2 speed. No biggie to me tho. I'll be happy to have a solid tranny again. I'll probably upgrade later to the 3 speed kit. What would break in the tranny when you lock up the brakes and flip the truck? Maybe I can put my 3 speed into the new...

    What's the difference between transmission 87218 and 88257

    It has the 2 plugs on side not 3. The guy says it's 3 speed tho. I bought a new 2 speed to go in it because I thought it was a 2 speed. It was $25 with shipping. I'll upgrade to the 3 speed later on. Or maybe I can fix the one I have if it is a 3 speed. I didn't pay much attention to that was...

    What's the difference between transmission 87218 and 88257

    I haven't touched the transmission other than tearing it apart to make sure nothing broke, stripped, etc. I accidentally locked up the brakes on the pavement and flipped it and after that it was grinding/binding up. I put it all back together and lightly lubed it up and it works great lol just...

    What's the difference between transmission 87218 and 88257

    I was texting the guy that sold it to me and apparently it does have 3 speed... idk I got the hsn pretty much dialed in and it definitely hits second but haven't heard it yet. The transmission has a lot of slop time to replace lol will be all in by Friday.

    What's the difference between transmission 87218 and 88257

    Yeah lol I do like to modify too. Just frustrated with how many things I keep finding wrong with it. Just fixed the recoil and I'm debating on tearing out the transmission or throw the engine back in. The new one is supposed to be here Thursday.

    What's the difference between transmission 87218 and 88257

    Yeah I don't like them!! They're cool as hell looking but idk I want smaller ones. He said that I can't just change them because it's geared for the bigger tires. So I'm sure I have to buy new gears or diffs. Idk I've been going over this truck thoroughly and there's no thread lock on anything...

    What's the difference between transmission 87218 and 88257

    Ok cool I'm pretty sure the transmission is out of a .25 or the 4.6 can't remember. I got the brakes figured out some. Still a little strong for my liking. I even tirned the travel down. I'll have to go to the pink ones I've found some just need to get the cash, kind of spent a lot on it lol. I...

    What's the difference between transmission 87218 and 88257

    I do have 2 more question quick. My brakes were terrible so I replaced the single bad composite brake with dual steal disc brakes. How do I get it to have a lot less brakes. I barely touch the trigger and it endos/flips. I actually flipped it yesterday and that's why my transmission is all...

    What's the difference between transmission 87218 and 88257

    Ok. It does have +18mm extenders behind the wheels so idk if it's only wider or what. Seems to me that it's normal length due to the lack of room around the engine. This is why I was unsure if it's actually xl after researching. The guy lied to me a lot after I got home and really looked and...

    Dang! So I just bought a screw kit and a bearing kit for an xl. Those going to work then? I love the truck and it really doesn't matter other than the parts I've ordered.

    What's the difference between transmission 87218 and 88257

    Yeah thanks. I've gone to this forum a lot already. I've found tons of info! This is my third nitro and is my first savage. I had a t-maxx and a rustler when I was in high school and am just getting back into it. I actually snagged a tranny last night for $20 brand new off eBay. No reverse, but...
