Been waiting on this day for a long time. I can probably drive the trans to you
Do you need specs on the car?
Yes, please shoot them over to us in e-mail. You being close helps.

I'm no real help, stock power won't be good testing.
He went through 4-5 different bearings, each lasting about 1000-2000 miles. He is incredibly hard on the car. However, he made quick work of sub-par bearings. I had to have torn that transmission apart no less than 5-6 times.

@VeloxEric, will you guys offer a torque rating for these when the time comes for production? Are you going to have a full 1-5 set at all? What about shift forks?
Torque rating is a difficult number to approach. The forces the gears see depends on a lot of factors, including tires, drive shaft, and clutch used. We estimate it at 2-3xs factory torque, which would put it around 600-900wtq capable.

We haven't seen a need for shift forks but I may be missing something?

Thanks,
Eric
