The "Broken F35 Transmission" thread
 

Similar to the 'how'd you blow up' thread... I'd like to find out what part of their tranny gave out.
I listed a poll to find out what gear... but please state in a post what caused the gear to fail.
In cases where the whole tranny was buggered.... I guess, just post up "I f*cked the tranny bad!" :lol:

Hopefully this allows us to diagnose the weak point of these tranny's... and possibly help a vendor out to offer an upgrade for us.

(For those that are going to ask... no I didn't bitch my tranny... it works fine... I'm just curious)

My tranny isn't broken...yet, but second gear slips a bit.

my 2nd gear went on my second trans, the first time i raced with the new tranny!

have not had no issues for 13k miles now

:lol: That is you're clutch bro;)

BTW Omega, I like the LNF fans click here link better than the search link.:lol:

I need two votes! :lol: I have gone through two tranny's and both were third gears!

My 5th gear is fuct. Reason? Probably the large gear puller, and two suplimental pry bars underneath. :lol:

On my original Trans... the 2nd gear Synchro Blocker ring went out on it.

On my current trans... the Differential fell apart.

No problems here just about to turn 15k miles

i didn't break any single gear, i sheared off the main shaft and that turned into an egg-beater and mushed everything, and then cracked my tranny case.

trump that! haha

p.s. maybe you should add an "other" category to the poll. just a thought

Only problem I have is the linkage roll pin. I got some aircraft bolts I'm going to try out today though. Should solve the problem.

Lol... I got in trouble over that one...
I guess there were some LNF fanbois that got but hurt over it... :(

I was debating whether to add a 'main shaft' option... but I figured no one would have broke that....
I was wrong... :lol:

over 400whp and 350wtq, stock clutch, 34,000 miles.... no problems... I love my car lol

2nd gear syncro

I Have One For Sale With Only 250miles.:-D

.... your whole car is freak though... :lol:

Yeah 3 times my car has been in for the tranny and i have a 2.2 but the 5th gear when out 8k into owning the car and the clutch had to be replaced because it was wearing unevenly at like 32k and my second gear started grinding on my move down to Nashville. So its all be covered under warranty but honestly WTF

I cracked the case and had internal problems but every gear worked, blew it 2 weeks ago.

lol that is true.

This is a broken F35 thread... that means SS/SC's...

IK but everyone is having this issue, just though i might throw in my input

Look at DSM's... their trannies are worse than ours... and they have a solution.

If someone (or a BUNCH of people actually) would email Shep Trans, I'm sure they would eventually look into doing something for the Cobalt world... quite like they have for the DSM world.

We need to get a ton of people to.

I gotta go to work right now, or I would.

I would definitely do a stage 1 rebuild for a grand.
