wow....just a question....im assuming that this trans is not getting beefed up....cause you might want to look into it and save $$$$ im the long run if it happens again

no money to beef.. trust me

stock = 100k
performance = 14k...

ill be ok for a while

The failure of the stock trans was from the 4th clutch shaft splines rounding off. This was inevitable as it sounds from most reports. However, I believe I accelerated it by going WOT while cruizing in 4th gear...

You can save it for a while longer by going into manual 3, then going WOT.

*adds to driving style*

BTW, after the 4th shaft failed and I had to drive it in third for 6,000 miles, this is what the clutch packs looked like:




Yeah, you shouldn't see metal....

Looks like my second gear clutches on my 93'* trans. Only better.

i am posting cause i want this in my posts section...to be updated. this really bites. is the new tranny going to be completely stock? and if so, will it hold up to the car?

yes completely stock.. hopefully i can talk john into putting in the shift kit, otherwise i will do it....

we can only hope

any news yet haro? hey cam...we love you here..stuff happens...and haro is a cool peep. he just had some bad luck here...when things settle down, he'll continue to love his car as always!

as it sits right now, the tranny shop plans on having it ready for me (finish the welding) on friday at noon... then johns buddy will pick it up and hopefully have it done friday night...

i dont know about the reality of this plan though
