3.3 tranny in a 2.5

[Watchdogwary]

can anyone give me a quick list of parts needed for the swap? i know there is many options to this but i already bought it and so now i guess I'm gonna run with it. my main problem is i dont understand how the new brake system attaches to the tranny output yoke on this tranny. i have replacement output yokes for the t maxx 2.5 but they are to small. and how the heck is the brake disk attached. i have searched EVERYWHERE. but I'm a noob. sorry to ramble on and on

mmk so I did this, the tranny will drop right in and all the linkage will hook right up. The only thing is the new 3.3 center shafts have two posts that go into the brake disk to engage it. So you'll need to get a set of 3.3 centers. They're longer than the 2.5 so you will have to cut them down and most likely file your 2.5 chassis around the front output knuckle.

When i found that all out i just swapped for the 3.3 chassis and braces which I got off ebay for $17 new haha.

o

was that the extended 3.3 chassis or the regular 3.3?

The tranny will bolt into any.
It is the newer extended chassis, with the angled front end not like the 2.5's that basically had a 90 degree angle on the ends of the chassis.
