Allot of variables.
Mostly driving habits and torque curve. higher rpm boost / torque peak is more forgiving.
Someone with 300whp/wtq and an unforgiving clutch could screw up just about any transmission.

Little things like preventing wheel hop, using a forgiving clutch and not using super sticky tires can help save your trans as the clutch or wheels will likely spin before the trans breaks and if it does spin it won't smash the hell out of your transmission.


The 4.05 and 4.45 aren't actually stronger then the 3.86 it's just geared more forgivigly letting the engine put down the power without cranking on the internals as hard.

 

Hey man don't jinx it

I take it pretty easy on her, tires don't hook well enough to break n e thing n e ways lol
N I def don't hop it. Ramped boost

But I'm still crossin my finger hoping it don't go lol

 

Well i have all the zzp mounts but also the stage 4 clutch so it does engage fast. I thought that the different ratio took pressure off of the drive gears

 

Knocked on wood for ya lol

 

Exactly. All I'm saying is the gears themslelves are not actually stronger just less strained so it's hard to put an actual power rating on it.
It's much not capable of holding power but can still be broken.

 

the zzp mounts are regrettably not rotated so the root cause of power hop is (also regrettably) not addressed.

trans breaks immediately in power hop and thats a fact.

some good posts on here ^^^^

 

ZZP advertises their mounts as rotated now on their site so maybe they changed their design?

 

They are allowed to call them anything they want so even though they say rotated their not. They've always been called that as far as I'm aware.

 

Why would they sell a product that's not as advertised though? That doesn't make any sense lol

 

To trick simple people like us who trust the name on the product. We were fooled again...

 

Because one of them at ZZP doesn't believe in the rotated mount doing anything and to get more sales they just named them that.

 

Hence why Powell > ZZP

 

It really is as you say if powell makes the product buy that if not ZZP

 

OK but will a built 4.05 stand up to a ZFR SS/TC?

 

I wouldn't chance it, it's either 4.45 or F40, it may hold up for a bit but still won't be as strong as either of the other two better options. If you want a stock LSD 4.05 I'd say go for it but don't spend the money on a built one.

 

Thank you i guess I'm going f40 then i dont want to drive highway withbrevs over 3k with the 4.45

 

It will hold better than a 3.82 trans will. There is plenty of lsj-t guys running bigger turbos and the they keep the stock trans.

By the way at 70mph with a 4.45, you'll be right 2800rpms. Not a big deal.

 

I thought at 70 youd be at 3k. I usually drive 80 on the highway

 

Damn..about 6 years ago when i busted my trans i paid about 1200 for a junk yard unit that sounds like its grinding coffee 90% of the time (still works find ). I would have jumped all over this.

 

If we source a transmission with a 4.45 gear set can we dissemble it and just send you the ring and pinion? Would you need anything else from it? Would the pricing still be the same if we shipped you the 4.45 along with a 3.82 lsd core?

 

Yes but be cautious. I receive trans where people have attempted to dismantle them and by hammering on the mainshaft (which is the pinion also ) they wreck it.

 

Might b a lil dense of me but what cars came with the 4.45?

 

Telling people that just makes it harder to get them
So STFU lol

 

Shhhh
Lemme get my hands on 1 first. Haha.
I have my eye on 1 but damn. I'll keep searching.

 

I think most of the forum would be sending them your way anyway may as well educate your spy's haha
