third gear broke again
Third gear went again, need a new trans and cannot find. Anybody know somewhere I can buy a used MU3 with LSD oooorrr send mine somewhere to be rebuilt so they can salvage my perfectly intact LSD? Spoke with ZZP and they said no new trans for indefinite future bc the parts they use to beef up are on back order. Anyone know of another company who makes/sells the F35? Thanks

yeah Mongorat im not to far away. This install will be trans #3. Car's making 320ish hp/over 400tq to the wheels...stock turbo, zzp stg. 4 clutch, stock motor. Yeah, fair warning to anyone else who's throwing these numbers or close to it, DON'T no-lift into third, it WILL BREAK. maybe not the first, second, etc. but matter of time it will happen.

Just took this trans apart. Both gears were stripped clean and pieces got in the pinion and blew out through the case in the front . I traded him my 4.05 LSD for cash plus his old trans so I have a LSD with 2500 miles on it and a few other usable parts that look brand new and about $50 worth of scrap. Thats the most damage I have seen yet. Must be doing BANZAI shifts.

Lots of horrible driver mods.
That and ppl want high HP/TQ without modding all equal components for a standard sports car

Mongorat, you should take apart mine. I wonder what it's hiding.

Yeah slamming 3rd with a high torque FAST spooling turbo like stock Will do bad things to 3rd or even 4th if 3rd survives. Is John Shephard still doing anything with these transmissions?
