Having Fun Last Night Untill...BOOM...!

[Auto Reverse]

Was out last night playing around when I nailed 1st gear hard, went to shift into 2nd and...BOOM...!

The car would no longer shift into gear. What do you think? Clutch, tranny, driveshaft? The engine runs and idles fine.

HELP..!

trans gears.

I think I may just do a Tremec TKO 600.

Good choice. In total with the HPM crossmember it cost me 2500 dollars to my door to give you an idea of the cost.

I had a boom once, it was the clutch. It was all over the place under the car. It looked kind of like hay comeing out of the inspection cover.... It would not go into gear b/c it just wont with out the clutch. I havn't blown a tranny like that before so I wouldn't know. Hope I never do!!

sounds like tranny. Aslong as you have cash burning a hole in your pocket its not all together a bad thing because you can now upgrade your combo.

We pulled the tranny out tonight. The output shaft was broke, actually, it looked almost like it was laser cut. Snapped real good.

So, until I can save up for a tranny that'll handle 540 ft/lbs. at the wheels, I'm slapping a used 4 cylinder T-5 in there just to get around town, transport, etc.

What transmission will handle my power?

I did the same *****...good job
I got my TKO 600 from MMR shipped to my house for $2319 (yoke,clutch,SFI bell houseing)

 

[Auto Reverse]

Whose MMR? Also, I noted that the TKO600 is only rated for 600 flywheel torque. I'm way past that with the spray, now I have to do some more homework.

 

[Auto Reverse]

How do you like the TKO600? Are they as good or better than the G-Force transmissions? Thanks.

 

[DJTR]

That right there is some good work!!

Just because you make 600 Tq at the flywheel doesn't mean you're able to plant that to the ground. Use the torque ratings of the various trannys as a guide, not the 'end all' is whether it will stand the test of your combo.

Consider how long your current tranny has lasted you and it's torque rating.
