Look at my mods below, im not running a effing 500hp monster engine why is my car going through driveshafts and trannys. I've replaced them both twice already, next im going tremec & aluminum. anyone else had as bad as luck as me with a damn near stock motor? :mad:

Stop beating on it.... Or go to a different transmission guy and ask. I just had mine rebuilt at 125,000. Has 2000 on it now and is fine.


lol thats the whole thing....i DONT beat on it. I may get on it every once and a while but not enough to be busting up stuff....i know people that drive thier **** hard EVERYDAY and never break stuff.


oh well im gonna look into a g-force rebuild & alum. shaft to go with it.
 
For the u-joints I woudl say your control arms bushings are probably shot. this will cause extremem angles on that u-joint, that means binding and quick failure...

As for the trans, maybe the case is bad...
 
I agree with Chris above me. Something is out of whack or has excessive movement when under load. Given the info provided, that is what comes to mind (though it very well might not be the case at all).

No other great info for you. Good luck.
