So i should have seen it coming since I got an aftermarket clutch and I planned on buying a spare tranny and getting it cryotreated, anyways I blew out first gear. I need a tranny ASAP this is my only car. If anyone has one that they can spare withing driving distance please let me know ASAP. What other transmissions can i swap in while keeping the 3.90 ratio?

i have cryo treated gears in my car and i already messed up 1st gear

Six speed boys...
Matt, gonna be swapping my 94ss very soon. I was planning on dropping the 5 speed into my svx, but i guess i can drop the RS one instead. But again, Im like 300 miles away. Lol

get w58 like me

Florin, how many miles are on that tranny? How much would u want for it? I would be willing to make the trip for the right price. I have access to the RS tranny but I don't really wanna deal with swapping everything. I'd rather just drop the stock tranny right back in and start saving for a JDM tranny. 2hawt4u did you sell your 5mt already?

How much boost? How did you break it? Were you launching it?

Scared of breaking gears in mine... I run 17psi on the TD05 with 243k on my 5-speed.

Yea I was at the drags and I was being a puss my first few runs because I knew the tranny wouldn't last forever. Last run soni decided to actually launch it. I got a damn good launch and BAM! I think you should be fine as long as you don't launch, because it WILL break

i am running revtronix stage 2 set-up. The really crappy thing is I just got a JDM TD05 for $100 yesterday, so I can put it on and stare at my engine bay for the next few weeks

Someone told me once; Its not power that breaks things, its traction. You're tires are clearly too wide.
You can still drive it, just start in second. It'll make you better with the clutch.

Well yea it was most definitely traction that broke it. It was easier to break the gear than it was to spin the tires haha. When I drive it in other gears you can hear chunks and dust rolling around in the tranny and it got stuck in third on the way home but it finally came out. Would I be age to drive it around in 2-5 or bad idea?

^ I'd be concerned for your clutch....Isn't it new?
TD

i havent sold it yet. swap is stalled at the moment. have everything but im thinking about swapping in a r200 s13 diff so i dont break axles any more. logan is in the process of doing it right now. im just waiting to see what all i need. then i can have my driveline built. so soon. ill let you know if it becomes available.

I was kidding. Sorry, it didn't translate very well.
Probably not a good idea to drive it with gear teeth cruising around in your tranny case.

When i blew my tranny, i drove it all the way home. 7 miles. Lol. Oh, and i was using 3rd gear the whole time. Even taking off from a stop.

ya same. the first 5mt that i blew up i had no second gear so i shifted from 1st to 3rd. i did that for a couple weeks every day to work and back.

Yea. I would consider driving it but not worth the risk I don't want to do more damage if possible. 2hawt definitely let me know asap if it's going up for sale

ok for sure

do you have a rough ballpark idea of when you would be selling it if you do?

soon, with in the next 60 days. i miss my car.

Ok. Well me too haha. I'm hoping I can find one before 60 days but who knows. The only oneni know of other than yours has more miles than my car and they want 500 which I can hermit rebuilt for 500 so that wouldn't make much sense

im open to trades too if ur hard on cash

Don't have a whole lot to trade. Some tools and stuff but not much for aftermarket parts. Im gonna start saving up right now and buy a cheap running car or a tranny. whatever comes up first

Bumps !!!!

to the top!
