Max wheel horsepower for stock tranny?
What is the maximum wheel horsepower the stock tranny is good for? I have just under 400 at the wheels, but am quickly eating syncros. Is it my horsepower or just that syncros tend to go out...?
Whos got the answer?

ya i believe its more based on how you drive your car.
but the more power you have, the more it hurts, IF you mash on it, or miss a gear. stronger clutch, and how your drive is a key factor in how your tranny lasts.

Dudes, I didn't know there was a service bulletin??? It is my 4th and 5th gear, I put a new ACT clutch in about 3K ago and just started having probs.
Will the dealer replace these under warranty - once they open my hood, they will say "too many mods, you pay out of pocket".....
Is this true...??

One NW dealer replaced my tranny once, and my transfer case a few times all under warranty back on my 03 evo. I remember in 2004 the TC went out after driving from Portland (Matrix) to Seattle in 90 minutes - it failed most likely because of redline 75w90 and running at such a high rpm the whole way back. This was all after getting tune by Shiv of course so there was plenty of freeway fun I remember
PM me for the dealer info if ya like

Yes, and I got the TSB image from someone else, so I can't take credit. I just try to make sure people have the info they need. Unfortunately, if they'd just do a little searching, they'd find more info than they could ever hope for...
Maybe my TSB threads should be stickied somewhere, because everyone could use them.
