well it finally happend. i was hoping it never would but 3rd gear finally went. it went when i went WOT in second, shifted to third, and in mid 3rd my rpm's just shot up to redline.

i pulled over and checked everything out, i can only get into 2nd, 4th, and 5th. i cant get into 1st, feels like something is blocking it, and 3rd is just nonexistant. lol. i can feel the gate for 3rd and push it in, but theres no gear there.

needless to say, looking for a new trans. lol.

kinda figured it would happend eventually with the extra power. gotta pay to play tho.

 

Welcome to the Busted Trans club. Ford should be joining us shortly.

 

That suck ballz man

 

lol. it sucks. credit card is going to take a hit. im going to get a 4.05 trans tho. preferably with LSD. dont want the one wheel peel.

 

i'm gonna be there soon. already broke an axle on saturday night lol

 

Damn Man, That just flat out sucks! At what point do you start to see this starting to happen? When you start to reach _____WHP thiers a Good chance your gonna need a Tranz.

 

I am not going to say anything to even jinx myself. I am already making plans and arrangements in case it pops.

U can still drive around on yours? Any leakage?

 

yea i can still drive it fine. just have to start in 2nd and cant put it in 3rd. no leaks. i gotta drive the thin to work soon. lol.

 

What kind of mods did you have?

 

Full bolt ons, BNR2871 tuned on 91 by Area47.

 

Lol 9 down. Let me know when you get there. Your teeth prob just go ate off that gear .

 

its threads like these that make me not want to even upgrade the turbo in my car.

 

Sorry to hear it man. Hope you find something soon. Some ppl/transmissions seem to be fine and others dont. Hope you get one soon sir.

 

Its worth it. Lol. I think I found an lsj trans with lsd already. Just working the final things out and its mine. Should hold up better than the stock LNF one.

 

take your broken tranny and send to ZZP to build?

 

Ill probably sell it to them or someone, but I only have the money to get a new trans. Going with the 4.05 should be a slight upgrade tho.

 

Werd. I think when I finally get the clutch in and increase the boost a little, I might be done.

 

With the stock turbo I managed to munch 3rd gear in my 4.05 w/LSD.

Went through the fun around a month ago.

 

sucks to hear that man. I'll be getting a ZZP Tranny if mine ever goes.

 

New grippy clutch + Stock turbo with more boost + Stock turbo TQ spike = Even more of a chance that your tranny will let go...especially if you NLS :p

 

Unless you had one tire fire on your lnf trans how is the lsj one going to hold better? It's the same transmission only older... have you checked the roll pin and shift cables? Cause even if you broke third you should still have first and fifth!

 

If this is the case, just get TWM STS with Shift linkage clamp

 

Putting the LSJ 4.05 trans in an LNF you are putting less stress on the gears from the gear ratios being longer, if i remeber correctly.

Dart, sorry to hear man, but congrats on joining the club, lol. My car has trans #3. It was installed back in april under warranty, lol. Gotta love working for a stealership!!! Good Luck on getting her fixed and back running

robk

 

I would if i drove the car more than 50 miles a week. Holding off on driving it until the GTR is ready to run. Then ill break it. That or when the 4.45 trans arrives which ever comes first.


Edit: Im starting to think i just need the GoPro on anytime i got wot so that i get my unedited reaction to the transmission blowing up.

 

i blew up my transmission a couple weeks ago, lost fifth, big hole over by the linkage lol
