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.

I'd like to give those FRANA gears a try. Whenever he sells another batch.

"FRANA vehicles" was the guys name on k20a.org. He has a straight cut 1-2nd dog engagement gear set. He has sold a batch of the gears and is awaiting info on them from the customers before he makes another batch. I'm all in for them once they start making more of them.
