Yeh i thought some Smart ass would say somthing stupid lmao!!!! Since your a f35 guru, and have the know how to not blow a tranny up when your in third gear, not shifting into third, nor shifting into 4th but in the mid rpm range of 3rd. how is this driver Error. FU**ING EPIC FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Wheres the cracked case option ?

 

Like I said, Driver Error. Just because it failed in the middle of third with no shifting involved, doesn't mean that it wasn't weakened beforehand by a shitty driver.

I've pushed more horsepower through mine with no problems yet. Same goes for the clutches.

Cracked case, no internal damage? That's another case of Driver Error. Wheel Hop is one of the leading cause of cracked cases.

 

assumption of having more power. lmfao ok...... And about the trannys, two of them blew the day i put them in after they were broke in enough, drive on highway do some low boost pulls ect, and dont say install error lmfao.... I do know what i am doing......And also i am assuming since my car is badbaltsguys old car your assuming its still slow ass **** and is a pos... BY FAR NOT CLOSE............

 

You're on the S20G... that's a weak turbo. No need to assume.

And trust me... if transmissions are breaking the day you put them in... something isn't right... plain and simple. Paul ran over 500whp/440wtq through his without a problem... it lived on in another high horsepower car for a loooooooong time afterwards too.

I'm not saying our transmissions are perfect... far from it. But they aren't THAT weak. There comes a time... when you've destroyed all that you've destroyed... when you need to sit down and ask, "WTF am I doing wrong here?", because you are obviously doing something wrong.

Its nothing to get butthurt about. There is an error on your part somewhere in the loop. My first transmission was user error, downshifting too hard/fast from 3rd to 2nd, killed the Synchro... my second transmission the Diff fell apart. I more than likely contributed to that in some way or another too.




Oh, and Tennessee is still misspelled in your Sig.

 

I no longer have the s20g, i to a td07 (25g) and im soon to change again to a gt35. I dont know what one yet but i do have plans. And the tune on the car when i got it was ****, along with the turbo, it was ****, along with bost leaks everywhere, bad 02 sensor, had a spun bearing, only way you could actually hear it was at like 2k rpm, and i can listway more... And me blowing trannys have no reasoning to be my fault. I dont downshift, when i do race, i make sure i stay in the gear im in until i need to shift, and i shift slowly so i dont blow my trany. Ive blow two lsds as well, one had one tooth still left on it, the other had its hub cracked all the way around and it wasnt doing **** but grinding. Along with my car ive done everything the right way. ive fixed so much **** with this car
that it makes me laugh knowing what and why it used to be slow. Im not getting but hurt over the fact ive blown to many trannys, just tired of hearing people assume they know things about someone elses car that theyve never rode in and ect. I dont drive my car idiotic, nor do i shift hard, or fast.

 

You can say that ...

Solid mounts , feathered the clutch out of the hole smooth launch , hit 2nd gear , wheels spun fallowed by brief wheel hop at which point i let out.( I learned my lesson from a broken axle), but that brief unexpected millisecond of wheel hop cracked the case.

Where’s was a the crack? The same place they all crack...Driver Error or poor design ? Who knows


And i know plenty of people that haven’t had this problem, hell i see other SS wheel hop to the 330 mark and not hurt a thing. And then there’s people like me that go out of their way to be carful and break stuff left and right.

Idk maybe i just expect too much out a purpose built sport compact. I use to launch my ZX2 with a 75shot at 5krpm ... The thing wheel hopped like mad but i never broke a thing on it, and the trans on those cars(mazda g5m) is notoriously weak.



Any case in which the user beats on the car can be called Driver error...but thats kinda like going to doc and saying "it hurts when i do this " and the doc saying "i see...well don't do that"

 

Weak design contributes a lot, in our case... but its like you said... if you weren't doing that, it wouldn't have happened.

I lost an axle to wheel hop, as well. Had poly mounts then too. Luckily it was only an axle... unluckily, it happened 110 miles from home.


25g isn't much better, although it is an improvement. And why get a 35R? Ancient technology. SOOOOO many better options out there.

And I'm not quite sure what you did to destroy an LSD like that. I don't think I've seen anyone else destroy one... and there have been plenty of LSD's at >400whp/400wtq. As I said before, somewhere in the system of things, something is wrong... and you need to figure out what that is.

It just might be where you're getting your transmissions from. Or maybe you've just got REALLY bad luck.

 

Well two of them were quaife trannys, and the others were gm stock new trannys. the one i have in there now is a cryoed and ect tranny. cost me a total of 4k with new tranny, and moldng the 2nd and 3rd gear and ect.. and its holding up fine, usually theyd be bye bye before 1.4 k miles but so far this one has lsted 13k miles






lol

 

Ok guys what are the symptoms of a cracked case?

 

trans fluid all over the bottom of the car. lol.

 

Lol really? Jk its because I see some oil in between trans and motor.. thinking its partially cracked ......

 

Diff pin popped out after I turned a corner while accelerating (nothing insane) the differential had felt really crappy since I had bough the car with a lot of looseness and slop

 

I think me too, or its starting to go bad.
What's it take to fix?

 

..

 

Maybe you should see someone about how you drive, it sounds like a user problem or a case of awesome luck. Most people grenade 3rd from hooning it.

 

i melted 1st and 2nd gear together, and blew 5th and reverse. or thats what the GM tech told me

 

well guys I had the 5th gear synchro go in my lsj. I found a used tranny at an auto wrecker. Does anyone know of a good guide for replacing the transmission???

 

its pretty straight forward,


remove intake or charge piping
remove the fuse box
remove the ecm
set all harnesses aside, unbolt top tranny mount 3 bolts
jack car up
take driver tire off, take driver wheel well plastic off the front
take off engine cradle
take off driver strut and hub and axle
set engine on a jack stand or lower with a jack first then at an angle
remove tranny mounts if you didnt when you removed the cradle
unbolt tranny unplug wire harness, hydraulic line from tranny distribution block, its a metal clip, very easy
pull tranny off into your lap
slide out from under the car
Install new one and repeat above steps backwards

I may have missed a few little things but i have done it in my driveway with and without a cherry picker. Holding the engine up with a cherry picker was way easier as I pulled the cradle first. There is a few ways to do it but there is nothing to it but to do it.

 

thanks for posting! this is gonna help. replacing mine cause the bellhousing is cracked.

 

ouch, u cracked the housing too huh? lol. what mods do you have?

 

i didnt crack it, the retard that crashed it into a wall cracked it at 600 miles! And in my picture, you can see the mod list on the trailer. Its not only mine, when my uncle had his 07 g85 ( it was hit in the front also ) the tranny was also cracked. Its just stupid how they crack so easy!

 

"how they crack so easy..." I am sorry but that is funny stuff right there. You smash cars into walls and say the tranny breaks so easy. Fix for that would be to quit hitting walls.

 

no, there designed stupid where the mounts go. We fixed srt4s ( 20 + srts), and never did we have a cracked tranny, but we fixed 2 cobalts, both had them cracked. Also ive read people cracking them auto crossing? really, a tranny case should hold up to some beating.

edit: and we didnt run them into walls. the previous owners did!

 

I think making 480 hp on a fwd tranny is pretty strong enough.
