Just wondering how much power I can safely add to my tranny before I have to beef it up or get a new one. I am pretty sure mine is a stock manual 93 tranny (t-5?).

I HEARD close to 500, but thats only what I heard, I would think going over 400 would be a little dangerous.

It depends on your ability to get the power down...if your tires slip a lot then your engine can have lots of power.
Then theres instant failure versus gradual wear, how long will it last?

400 at the most any more than that id get tko tranny

Welp I've made several passes making about 400 ft/bs of RWTQ and sticky tires.
Still works fine...

See how long that lasts tho

tranny is rated to around 300 ft lbs of torque, gotta get the tires to stick and apply that torque to have a problem. Im sure it can take more as that number is probably underrated.

seen stock trannys grenade with a stock motor and street tires. just depends

boy is that ever an understatement!
last I read in MM&FF said the torque max rating which is really what matters with a tranny is around 300-350 ft-lbs or so with a stock manual but it all just depends like ^^^ already said.

Yep, depends on the car.. I know a guy pushing somewhere in the 600hp mark through his t-5... Well......... He was, until he blew it up and had to rebuild it.. lol

my friend just built his talon up. Turboed with 35lbs of boost making 768 hp. He has a stock tranny. He thought the tranny would go on the dyno, hes in the process of getting one built. funny **** though.
