    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...





    from best to worse... all the same gear...... :face:








    and some other misc broken pieces from my adventures

    I wouldn't know about a supercharged K24 but I know a turbo'd K20 has 4th gear as the weak link 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 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.

    "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.
