so, ive had the car for a year... and about 2 months in i had to replace the trans, and now, about a year later, this ones starting to go too. i just replaced it with a DDperformance 3650. whats happening is 3rd gear syncro is going, and then 2nd. i do have a short throw, but my only guess is that im shifting a little faster then the trans wants to be shifted, i dont flat shift or anything like that... but i do beat the **** out of it to say the least. so the question is, what trans can i get that will actually be able to handle this abuse? and what about proshifting it? pros/cons. the car is a DD, but performance comes first, then driveability... fwiw i run the car with a full drag suspension set up, and slicks/skinnies daily, so that shows you, im not concerned with comfort/driveabity so much, i just want something that will handle more then a years worth of abuse.

as is now its a 02gt, stock motor/100 shot, suspension work, gears, exhaust. i drive it like its suposed to be driven, and it gets launched around 5grand...

so what are my options?

will a t45 work?(promotions)...

thanks guys

Get a TKO-600...

This is the one I'm going to get when I need a tranny...

I know it will handle the power, but will it handle shifting the **** out of it?

hey dime , give fred a call or PM and ask him about the TKO's......you REALLY should consider a 700 hp 3650 , the drivability is 100 times better and it may even be a lil cheaper...http://www.americanpowertrain.com/Fo...ns/99-04k.html

Keep away from the TKO!!!
If you can get the coin up, go T-56

The money isn't an issue, I'll still get a few months out of this one, just pre olanning because its starting to go. Like I said tho, my main concern is will the syncros handle shifting like I do?

I'd like to hear what everyone knows about proshifting a trans... Pros and cons.

If the 700hp 3650 will handle shifting like I do ill buy it.

Like I keep saying, my main concern isn't the power it will support, its a trans that can take the abuse of shifting the **** outa it.

Pro is that it go in gear at high RPM's without any problems, cons is it sucks for daily driving

lizzyfan

I hear about the so called beefing up the T-45 or 3650 but I've yet to talk to anybody that's had it done

dimebag

Why's it so bad for daily driving tho?
