When my first mother in law lived in Miramar. She used to call southern Fl. North Cuba.

My wife had an uncle who had a business in Miami. Had 2 guys working for him. One Cuban, and one Jamaican. He would have to translate for them. As when they spoke Spanish. They couldn't understand one another. Two different dialects.

LOL, it's all Spanglish at some point. I remember when I was playing Junior college baseball. My college was less than a mile from the Mexican border so we had a few Spanish speakers on our team. So we were playing a San Francisco Giants minor league team and they had a few Cubans on the team. We had to share a bus with them to get to the ball park from the hotel and it was a riot. They were talking and laughing and we were like what did they say, come on what are they saying and finally one of our Mexican teammates said how the would the **** would I know they talk to fast! I can only understand every third or fourth word! We laughed so hard that we were crying.

At what power level are they not holding up? I haven’t heard of anyone breaking one.

I know of one member on here broke the input shaft at about 600 lbs of torque with the BP kit. Can't remember his handle on here. But his name is Mike from Pittsburgh with a whitze Z. Last year, he switched to twin turbos from FI. Drove back from last year's ZDayZ' with him.

One of MA's customers also popped an input shaft. That's why this all came about. He had just installed a brand new Nissan tranny.
To be honest, this brings back bad memories of my 1975 280z Turbo. I popped 3 trannies before I finally had enough and upgraded. I still have the car but it is a love/hate relationship. That is why it is still sitting in the garage.

I would like to think there is a market for some middle ground option between stock and a transmission worth more than the car.

Maybe it's time for someone to explore a new input/main shaft made out of some fancy alloy?

If there was a big demand for it. Someone would be making it now.

Agreed. How many people are actually running north of 600wtq, if that is even the limit or just an isolated incident, ten, fifteen tops?

R&D is not cheap. GTR guys have Sheap transmissions. The old Borg Warner T5 had G-Force for the Mustang crowd and the 280zx turbo crowd, etc, etc.

Spooler · 01-19-2019, 03:20 PM

FYI, My 04.5 Dodge Dually with a 5.9 diesel has an upgraded transmission. The input shaft is billet and heat treated along with several other upgrades. Someone may be able to do the same to our trannies but what will break next and at what power level will be the big question. The only way we are going to know is if someone foots the bill to figure it out. We may just be at the design limit of the tranny. I know the diesel guys with NV5600 or G56's gave up. They just changed out to an automatic since the R&D was already massive for the 48re/47re auto trannies.
