just curious as to how many tranys yous guys have destroyed since youve owned your car

i ask because ive broken 2 and am on the third one(P.O.S. $60 trany)and ive had the car since July 03

 

Just 1, My currnet one is from a S4 with only 80k on it. The one I blew was a S5 rebuilt with a total of 160k on it.

 

i ment yo make it a poll.

go to the poll one

 

On the rx-7? two autos, and working on a 5spd.

Ever... 4 autos, 2 clutches

 

n/a
1 manual , 1 clutch shatter into pieces

 

1

 

Zero.

 

THREE!

All NA trannies

-Running a RB unsprung clutch and a street strip pp
-Redline gear oil

 

2 trannys and 1 stock clutch. Now using a ACT 6 Puck clutch and Aassco Lightweight flywheel. No probs with them yet. LSD is about to go though.

 

4 N/A's

 

None

 

144k miles original tranny. Original clutch too.

Why is everyone nuking trannys?

 

Good question, is it really that common to blow transmissions on the FC? Anyone have any fairly accurate idea of how much power a stock FC tranny can hold?

<--- Lurking the board and trying to learn as much as possible before getting my own FC.

 

My theorie was the CLUTCH!

Unsprung clutch, too many redline shifts =

 

The turbo trannies can take much more abuse than the N/A's Now, before someone yells at me - I said abuse, not power/torque. From what I understand, the NA tranny can take just under 300 lb ft. of torque before it's at it's limit. If you drive a formely NA car converted to a turbo motor with some mods the NA tranny will hold up just fine provided it's healthy and you don't drag race, launch, burnout etc... it's this kind of abuse that the NA tranny just won't take and most of them have covered a bunch of miles already. I went through about 1 a year for a while until I cut out the drag racing hehe

 

1 NA auto tranny.

 

im on my 3rd

 

1 auto in my soon-to-be ex-caravan (god, i hate mopar products...)

 

None yet

my 240sx's tranny is about to go. Iv got another..

and my rx7's trannys is going... Iv got another

 

zero out of 6 FC's

 

None out of either of my 88 NA's.

The 88 SE has broken it's shifter buching but that's external and easily fixed.
That one has 155k on it and is showing a slight grind ion the second gear syncro.

The 88 GTU has a bad 2nd gear syncro but ran perfect other than that. I just learned to double clutch and I was set!

These are on stock style clutches though.

I expect my TII tranny in the GTU to last quite a while. Probably longer than the NA rear end!

 

Killed mine at the track last month, got a GTUs tranny going in next month.

PaulC

 

funny they all N/A trannys
looking to see someone break a Tii one

 

anyone here keeping track. Thats probably 20 trannies between us. Scary ****, lol

 

in the 15 or so rx's ive never blown a tranny.
