That is not bad at all just find a spare tranny and ship it off to get it worked on. I did read a post that he did not tell what he did to it but as long as it holds up to 398tq I think most of us will be fine.
Yea he did my friends tranny. I have confidence in it, as ive been in the car. But I don't like not knowing whats done, ratios, etc. I know he started out with OEM gears from other cars, like the element. But then his stuff disappeared
Re: Best Bang-For-Your-Buck Tranny Thread
I talked to him about the trans build they do. They tell you what they do, but the things they told me didn't really make it sounds any stronger. maybe they leave some things out. They also didnt tell me it would hold 350tq though. Also I don't think it comes with a warranty. So it might hold, but who knows for how long.

but as for me i bought a spare fg2 tranny for a good price and i just have it chillin waiting for the stock one to break
I dont really think you can say they arw a waste. They will hold crazy amounts of power without fail. They are crazy expensive. 4-5k to get the trans done right not including labor if you Cant takle it yourself. Compae that to 90 dollars or so to for a single broken gear..its a big difference and will take a very long time for that to equal 5k. If you buy full gear sets at 300ish it will clearly add up much faster
Most people do just fix the gear that breaks drop your trans 4-5 times a year and you won't wanna keep doing it. You can keep beating ppg's also the ratios are better for high power cars.
I will probably also just get a 5 speed, use a 4.3 final and a 6th gear...but I would say they are far from a waste
