Long transmission?
 
Where can I get a new lnf tranny other then gm? Gm is back ordered and I have 500hp at the wheels and keep eating through all these pre owned trannys.

You will most likely eat through new f35s as well without some changes

adunk25 02-23-2016 03:25 PM

What do you suggest doing?

Snail_SS 02-23-2016 03:28 PM

I think you need to look closely at the tune you have

Turn the boost down for when kill mode isn't needed

adunk25 02-23-2016 03:33 PM

I had all the work and tune done at zzp boost is already turned down to I think 24 psi

adunk25 02-23-2016 03:33 PM

Where can I get a new f35? Is there a certain type of f35?

Snail_SS 02-23-2016 03:44 PM

Crateenginedepot might have some if your willing to pay the price

no_ss 02-23-2016 04:07 PM

That or pay to have a machine shop make custom forged parts. Would be extremely pricey though.

nathan112i 02-23-2016 07:26 PM

john powell might be the guy to talk to, if he doesnt have a transmission source one and get him to install a set of 4.45 gears that will be your only hope keeping the that f35 alive

LsCobalt07 02-23-2016 07:30 PM

I guess the f40 swap is possible if zzp is still offering the kit. It would probably be more cost effective than going through multiple f35s.

SR Tech 02-23-2016 09:01 PM

Last I heard fsmr bought all the remaining f35's that gm had.

I'd try to find a 4.05LSD and ramp the boost a little more

Snail_SS 02-23-2016 09:32 PM

Well that sucks if fmsr got them all we are doomed

I heard gm had manufactured a few more and that ced had some new ones it stock. Don't know if that's true.
Op you should try what someone else suggested and give Powell a ring or pwerks in Chicago to build you a cryo treated 4.05 or 4.45. That's your best bet along with boost ramp.
A new one isn't built quite stout enough for your hp you will have to upgrade the internals.

John Powell will suggest a 4.05 trans. 4.45 is hard to find. I just got a 4.05 shipped out to me. Do you have a boost ramp on ur tune? The torque spikes is what kills the trannys. That or go with a 6 speed f40 and also still boost ramp.

Gm is making the f35 again

blueLNFftw 02-25-2016 12:13 PM

Why would that benefit him?

Longer gears, more options, cheap as fuck to replace.

Slowbalt2000 02-25-2016 02:47 PM

F23s have shorter gears, but they are a ton stronger. Axle options are limited tho

I had Driveshaft shop make my f23 axles, haven't had a problem yet. Was $200 plus I sent them a set from a junk yard.

Slowbalt2000 02-25-2016 05:42 PM

you mean $800?

Well I was the first one done. :lol:

tomj77 02-25-2016 07:55 PM

Why is f23 so much stronger? Is Gm mental? Put stronger trannys into cars with less power?. I have one sitting in my shop
