    Ok no problem. I understand not wanting to keep tearing the teams out being I did it twice in one weekend. Not fun at all.

    I just realized this thread is over 2 years old! #GuruStatus

    Second gear is still, in fact, a weak link.

    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

    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

    Thanks fredd! Can you repost that thread in the DIY section on here? You can give credit to the original poster, but posting that here would be great

    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 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.
