I already have an aftermarket clutch and trust me the issues I have won't be solved with fluid. The synchros are bad to the point of I struggle to get it into 4th on a pull sometimes and I'm just with a catback and was stage 2 for a while

That's what I thought you meant lol I just hadn't heard their transmissions were horrible

I don't think it's terribly hard to destroy a transmission on stock power. Try this for fun and excitement: Drive at 85mph. Shift into first.

On a more realistic level, power shift. Rev match poorly or not at all while downshifting, especially under power. These are all the things that mess up a perfectly good and well-designed transmission on stock power on any car.

I love my manual gearbox. Feels goooood and pushing over 300whp reliably.
If I was going to out a gearbox in, it would probably be the one out if a 370z. Apparently those things are strong af

I can just see the rocker arms flying out of the motor on a downshift like that........

I think you'd do a bit of damage on an 85 MPH 1 shift, lol.

The helper spring sort of dampens the stock feel, I've felt it on a car with and without it, and without it is noticeably better

T56 or a cd009 is what I'd go for problem is finding a way to mate it to the engine

[GsxrMe]

New fluid, heavy clutch and clutch pedal spring removal makes it so much better but under WOT shifts the synchros such ***.

I wish someone made a bellhousing to mate the t56
