I think you'd be giving up taking the kids to school if you went that route! I suppose if I had the budget it'd be fun to push the absolute limits, but it'll never happen for me.

We got the transmission into the shop over the weekend for complete teardown. These are a few pictures to show access to the transmission.
Front cover being removed to access the clutch assembly. Draining excess oil from the clutch housing. As you can see this oil is rather dirty. This oil only has a few thousand miles on it. This is why we recommend to change your oil and filter every 25K. Last edited by SSPKris; 09-13-2016 at 11:50 PM.. |

Ready for transmission pan removal. These plastic pans are known to start leaking around the 30K range. Factory pan magnet with a ton of gear debris on it. This is the scene you will see with the shift fork magnets. This is the material that gives the incorrect shifting codes. Factory pick up filter for the transmission gear pump assembly. |

Inevitable for everyone with this tranny even with milder mods to have the same issue - just a matter of time.
Good stuff Kris! |

That was the block I was going to order would have been 25k shipped + headwork, crank+gaskets, etc. so close to 50k to get it up and running and was going to go T4 top mounts for 2000whp+ but was told by various people my car running 8s now would go from day to day reliable [I have 15k miles on the build and only lost a cv bolt at 1090wtrq on e85, after 14,550 miles of use, so $300 bucks outta pocket]... TO extremely unreliable. To continue to stay in front of your guys' fastest cars in a GTR is like 30-60k depending on parts, shop etc., costs have come down probably another 10k since even from when I did it last year, so its continuing to get more affordable, more reliable each year with R&D Last edited by M5Rlz; 09-17-2016 at 12:52 PM.. |

The debris will become a huge issue in high mileage cars in the future. Lack of maintenance on these transmissions will result in large repair bills. Its a time consuming job to clean these shift forks properly.
