so funny story happened about 2 monthes ago i ended up bowing my tranny up buy doing a burnout, real smart right lol, car had about 89000 miles on it. Had to pay for a new transmission and bought a stage 3 zzp clutch while i was at it. took about a month for full install and for me to have my car back. So i drove it 500 miles with out ever slipping or hitting boost. Was a little rougher on it till 1000 miles on the new tranny and clutch. So this last friday i take it out for our local cruise and at the end of the night i do a launch in the car and it makes a loud noise in the engine bay. I get out and look and who would have guessed the tranny blew again. . had it towed but to gm dealership and have to wait till monday to talk to them. Think it is the same problem as last time which a spider gear broke off of the differential and went threw the casing. Any ideas from you guys and why this happened again so quickly. Am i really putting down that much Power?

 

Did you reuse the same axles from the old trans that blew. If you did reuse them did you make sure to inspect the splines to make sure there is no damage. Also I'm hoping your not this stupid but are both your front tires the same size.

 

U treated it like a rwd :/ so sorry

 

^ LOL that to driver error

 

i launch at 7k rpms on slicks and cut 1.7 60's in my car. Stock G85 trans with gmp clutch. over 100+ launches

 

Why is this a funny story?

Breaking a spider gear ≠ blowing the transmission. That would be breaking the differential.

(It would actually be funny if you were caught blowing a tranny)
tranny = transexual

 

But ur car is built for it. I don't think his is lol

 

my car? nah i has a few tricks to keeping the trans together though. Other than that just bolt ons

 

The OP as well as other member like me, need tips from u man lol

 

Besides preloading at the tree and having rotated mounts, what other tricks if any?? Greatly appreciated by the way, been stalking you for a while.....no homo.

 

well the dealership installed it all and said it was all good but idk why the spyder gears would give that easily. All i installed on the tranny is the upgraded clutch and polly mounts so idk did anyone ever hear about this happening?? My other tranny had many burnouts on it and no issues??

 

Don't dump the clutch. Just release it fast and you won't break your transaxle. Your not preloading and shocking the drivetrain. Or just stop doing burnouts unless your in a wet box. Grow up a little no offense

 

Well ill keep that in mind and yeah no more burnouts for this car and no offense takin I'm still young and do somestupid things with my car but that's y I post this kind of stuff so i can learn

 

were you by chance doing that burnout in first gear? same with the hard launch?

 

It's cool dood. That's why I said no offense lol. I was young once too. You don't even wanna know what I did wit my first car.

 

Lol thank god this isn't my first car but some how I have yet to get in an accident with either of my cars just hit one curb so far lol oh and blew 2 transaxels lol fail

 

Yes I was on 1st gear then going to second and heard a noise so I let off

 

yeah don't do burnouts in 1st gear hahahah. and don't try and shift if you're spinning. i'm on a factory open diff 4.05 with many many 550-600hp dyno pulls. monster highway pulls. and 21 track passes roasting the tires on the burnout. still holds like a champ

 

Can i ask y not in first gear both my other cars I used to do burnouts in 1st and nvr problems but then ahain this is my first fast and boosted cat

 

So do i want to do a burnout in 2nd gear on the track
