GTTuner Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 dunno man, my transmission fluid is still green and at the full mark. Im baffled, but i do know that 3rd gear is completley fucked. I have not had good luck with this car let me tell u. I can only imagine how upset you are. How many miles on that gearbox? No disrespect intended, but at 380whp I would be gritting my teeth everytime I got into the throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 These people claiming the gears can hold gt35s "axles" will break first bs. It was around 380wh Im guessing. never got on dyno with everything dialed in. I will tell you it was pulling over 400gs on the maf scaled almost perfectly with the pol table. qikslvr is still on the stock transmission AND clutch and he's pushing similar numbers. Despite the fact that he's got a chipped 1st gear, tranny is holding up fine. I wouldn't call BS on the forum or info you've read up, just know that nothing is set in stone. It might be that your tranny was already suffering of a manufacturing defect or other flaw/fluke and the turbo exacerbated it and eventually killed it.

Guest Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 edmundu's car was easily 360 whp and the tranny was holding up just fine... I think your mishap is bit of a fluke. Anyway it seems it's the consensus the tranny will hold up easy up to 350 whp, then 350-400 whp is bit of a roll of dice, above 400 whp is hello new gears...

Atleast not for long. edmundu had > 90k on his LGT on the original clutch still holding strong... 350whp for at least half the miles.... But I agree it was exception, not the rule...

Guest Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 If anyone's got any tips to remove front axles would appreciate it for tomorrow. Thanks gnight. Insert prybar, ideally two between transmission case and the axle. Just don't get too medieval on it to not break anything. The axle should pop out.

Max713 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Are LGT transmissions really that weak? I come from the honda world, a wimpy little stock d-series transmission could hold 400whp consistantly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I come from the honda world, a wimpy little stock d-series transmission could hold 400whp consistantly... Couldnt tell you, i think it has to do moreso with the fact that hondas front wheels will spin if overpowered, wheras in this if you're running a 6 puck clutch nothing will slip and all the power will be placed to the gear. In which case mine died. 06 TB EVO IX SE stock turbo monster subaru hater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
