Its cool, I know they can handle 1/4 mile runs just fine. Just so you know, thats NOT how I trashed any of my trannies. ALL of em failed at over double the posted speed limit on the freeway. Every single T-5 I blew failed at those conditions, not during a shift or drag racing.

what happeneds when they fail at that speed, do you just get a running engine with no transfer to the wheels? i hope there isnt any violent jerk that occurs cause at those speeds you're toast

so...................your telling me that running at high speeds puts more strain on the transmission than running 1/4 mile drags? Thats funny

well if you baby anything it will last, but stock t-5's really arent all that super, some people may not know how to drive but there are more broken/f'd up t-5's than in tact ones.

sorry guys
only thing I wanted to know is about a 6spds swap.

thanks anyways

ooticamitica

and yea launches are WAY harder than high speeds....a sudden jult of power or a constant increase? hmm i wonder

number1_kid

you mean they will blow at high speed?

you need to be going damn fast to over load a 5spds in 5th!

incase you guys didn't get the memo Zero knows very little about tranny's.... the reason his broke at high speeds if because he uses the wrong fluid that doesn't disapate (sp) heat the way it should... yes if you hold 150 MPH long enough the bearings will seize, but with the right fluid and fluid level it would take about hour of sustained 150mph driving....

and anyone that drives that fast doesn't deserve a liscence... o and zero when i make my 1500 miles trip next weekend i'm going to run about 100-110 the whole way that should be about equivatent to 150 for an hour, lets see if my **** breaks.... i'll even hold my car at however fast it'll go for 30 min. or untill i need gas i'll video tape it so you believe me

Some would feel like it popped out of gear, on one of em I even lost the shift pattern. Then on another, there was a loud pop, I coasted till about 90 then you could hear the broken parts inside rattleing around, then it locked up at around 70. I wore some nice flat spots on that one.
