View Full Version : Second Gear is a weak link

I believe second gear is definitely the weakest link in a k24 swapped supercharged DC5 transmission.... What do you think?

I finally started cleaning up my shop/garage and realized how bad it really is since I'm breaking the same part over and over and over...

I wouldn't know about a supercharged K24 but I know a turbo'd K20 has 4th gear as the weak link :facepalm: Great pictures though. How are you rebuilding it?

Funny I'm in the process of rebuilding a friends turbo transmission that blew out fourth gear! lol

I've cryo treated and that still didn't work. I've basically just given up hope and I just keep buying new main shafts. They aren't that expensive. But I am saving up for PPGs

I'm telling you, turbo guys rape 4th gear :biggrin: Cryo treating, from what I've been told from 8thcivic, doesn't do anything in reality. It's better to run either straight OEM gears or just get albins/ppgs.

Yea i saw that on k20a. See the problem is basically when you get traction with all that torque it put so much stress on the drivetrain the gear just snaps. He keeps breaking 2nd b/c hes probably getting traction in 2nd where most turbo guys on street tires dont get traction till 4th hence why we all break 4th.

SPAZ if you plan on staying supercharged the frana 1/2nd might be a good deal for you and save you some money.

In my car I have major issues with spinning. 1-2-3 gears are all useless. Except on slicks I get traction in 2nd now. I would like to upgrade/downgrade to a 5 speed trans soon and keep my 4.7 FD. What do you guys think about that setup? And soon I want the 1-2 gears from FRANA.

I've never bought one brand new. I would find someone on a forum who's got a gearset and just buy the whole set. So now I have spares gears. I don't see why a main shaft would be on back order.

Will take some pics to show how the gears come off and assembly i wish i hadnt taken the case apart already so i could have taken pics of disassembly...and i never thought about gettin one off some one on the forum lol.

DIY would be great man, I'm sure many people could definitely use it. The more info we have, the more useful the forum is and that's all based on forum member contributions. And search for the mainshaft on forums, post it on the boostedk20 facebook. You never know what you'll find.

Depends on your build, 2nd gear is the weak link for N/A and S/C because they hook considerably better than TC guys. We break 4th :ohnoes:

PetefromtheStreets
05-10-2013, 08:28 AM
Even all motor I didn't hook well in 2nd. Literally the torque sheared every tooth off of the mainshaft and quite a few off of the countershaft as well. And don't forget some of us SC guys are making big power too

Ok Spaz, how long does it take to break 2nd gear? I drive like normal, I know how to shift and I never drop the clutch. I am sure that I will not have the patience to continue on in that fashion breaking second gear. I heard a few bad things about albins and that there was something else that was better? I dunno. I haven't gone down that road yet. What have you gotten to?

My second gear broke like 6 weeks ago. It happened out of nowhere, and I wasn't shifting hard or anything, so it can happen when you least expect it. PPG and albins both offer forged gears for our transmissions but they are extremely expensive, expect to pay about $6000 when all said and done on a built trans, possibly more. For that price, you can break many a stock transmissions before adding up to that cost :shrug: There is a guy on honda-tech that treats stock gear sets and from what I've read has had really good success making gears significantly stronger. I'm going to have a set treated by him and see how it works.

Awesome. Keep me posted.

You can spend about 2500 for a 1st to 2nd dog engagment gear set. Drag cartel sells them and there is a group buy going on for frana to make another batch. His are about 2k. I plan on getting a set sooner or later when budget permits. I understand you can get 5 stock trans for the price of a forged gearset but I don't know about you, I don't feel like ripping my trans out all the time to replace gears as they break.

Petefromthestreets!!!! That is what I'm talking about! I'd rather take it up the ass once with gear set than to be switching out 5-6 times which really would be more like the life of owning car.
I was at the strip for first time. I was at once hooked. The track is so grippy! I guess that is why so many cars break.
I ran a mid 11 second quarter mile. I know had I got the launch right and shifted quicker I could easily break in to a solid 10 second quarter.
One of the guys broke his car, he was running a stock diff. He asked me if I still had my stock one. I told him "Yes, but why...?" Some people like wasting time doing the same thing. Isn't that the definition of crazy? Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results?
About my track time...did it on my ZRX1200.

Yea man. Plus for the avearge driver or build, I wouldn't fork out money for a PPG gearset either. But when you race your car every weekend it's different. I want to win races and in order to do that I need parts that will hold what I can throw at them. Obviously stock gears only hold but so long.

Well if you have a second trans case, you can be ready for it to break. And you can rebuild the stock transmission like 10 times over before adding up to the cost of PPG gears.

Yes a stock rebuild can be done many times for far less money. Idk about you but I HATE having to redo things. And with no lift, I hate taking my transmission out. Personally I think treated gears are just a way to get 1 or 2 more hard shifts out of the stock gears. I'll be uograding to either frana gears or ppg. Especially when racing I dont want to lose because of that weak link

Ya I completely understand and since I don't race as much as you do I think it will be worth a shot for the stock gears with treatment. But if you want something bullet proof you gotta pay to play.

Add your time in to that equation, time car will be down. Is it still cheaper? It's a big chunk of change, but in long run? As far as getting gears treated?. Spaz said he had his stock gears treated, not much better.

If you are going to get the stock gears treated go with shotpeening. I used to be a machinist before I joined the military. We used to shotpeen jet engine parts to car parts to help make the metal stronger.

If you properly cryotreat something it also will make them stronger but the slightest slip in cooling or warming times can null and void the effectiveness in the blink of an eye

Realistically, not much stronger. In the end, the real solution is bulletproofing the transmission. Granted you can go through OEM gears several times for the price of PPGs, PPGs get installed once. And if something happens, lifetime warranty.

My advice... Get a spare trans as planned. Try and take it easy on the trans this year. Slower shifts, easier clutch engagement, ect. That's just doing yourself a favor.
And last but not least.... Save up for the gears.

100% cant get that back, money comes and goes, if i break my gears once im not putting stock shit back in, especially not 5 times. But then again the car is actually gona be used for what it was built, not sit at a show all year.

Now, I just had a thought. Once you eliminate second gear breaking what breaks after that?

3rd. LOL or the final drive. But honestly who would have thought my differential would break before my second gear. Lol

Well...at least I have a good one in. My third has been acting up. It's a mad dash to pay off my bills so that I can get those gears.

4th is actually the thinnest gear in our trannies, IIRC.

Hmm I was messing with my trans all day today and didn't think to compare the thickness of the gears to each other, but none stuck out to be thicker/thinner than any others :shrug: I think 4th tends to break a lot for turbo guys because that's when we run the most boost which means the most torque and we generally actually have traction.

Yea that's definitely a part of it. I remember back in the day, Ainokea Si posted a pic of his tranny when open but together, and you could see the difference. Wasn't substantial, but noticeable.

I've lost one 4 th gear so far and have been running stock ep3 transmissions with a quaife .I think they last longer in a lighter chassis like an eg

Good point about the weight of the car.

Ok, I have a spare set of gears on my bench downstairs when I get around to it I'll measure them with my micrometer and see what the differences are and post it up.
