why am I breaking trannys?!
No major mods, but I broke ANOTHER tranny in less than a year. When I replaced it I had a 38,000 mile tranny that went in. It was filled with mobil 1 fluid and had new comp. mounds installed, as well as a new front cover. I went to the local 7 11 today and when to hit 3rd and Zing, like I missed a gear, Thought it was the clutch till I put it in 4th and the clutch worked fine, but all the tranny has is 4th, same as before. So WTF, now I need another tranny or fix what I got. Any help would be greatful I dont want to swap tranny every 8 months.

you must be doing something wrong as my tranny held up to the abuse of me clutch kicking, drag racing and a few auto-x's it for the past 10k miles, this is with a 6-puck solid hub clutch. Only thing with the tranny is 2nd gear syncro is going out but i cant complain as there is nearly 180k on this tranny.

My tranny has 60k of use since it was swapped in, and unknown miles before that. Other than the second gear synchro getting kinda worn its fine, and I haven't exactly taken care of it. Drag strip, power shifting, shifting with no clutch, and its still fine. Mind you I don't do those any more, and the shifting with no clutch was because my ankle was damn near broken and it hurt to use the clutch. I actually gound the gears only 1 or 2 times.
Anyway, with my tranny holding up like that, I can't think of what would kill that many trannys when they aren't abused.
