@VerusEric any updates? A little shy of a year since the beta testers started. Any failures?

For those interested in pursuing this further; I recommend contacting Frana Vehicle Design in Illinois. This is the manufacturer we had been working with. Thanks, Eric |

First, thanks for putting time and money into this project; even though it got scrapped I think it means a lot that Verus went after this project for the community. Would you be at liberty to get into details regarding longevity/reliability? In your experience do you think a full straight-cut set of 6 gears have the same problems? i.e. the PAR set. |

We have a few transmissions still going after 5-10k miles (my transmission being one of them) and seeing tq over 500 at the wheels. Then, we have had units that break in a few thousand miles with parts we did not replace (shift fork, bearings, etc) as well as one that a gear tooth broke off on 3rd gear (inclusion in metal, we replaced it for free). For all of the reasons above; namely the reliability being a huge concern on parts, we have to suspend the project. We have so many other projects that require our time and effort at this point and this one comes with too many issues and liabilities. I easily have 100+ hrs in this project building and rebuilding 10-12 transmissions through the years. By all means, contact the gear manufacturer. I have made them aware of everything; they are a US-based manufacturer, but Verus cannot stand behind a product with unknown reliability. The project has always made me personally uneasy but we wanted to fix an issue that plagued the platform as inexpensively as possible; this time the FRS/BRZ won. Thanks, Eric |

Here is where I am coming from cuz I see out long term. Alot(in a sense) of these cars have been made. How many S2000's were made?
What I am getting at is that it is hard to source affordable robust transmissions. How many used ones are out there from the S2000 left? Yes the FA motor is problematic, but if this transmission could be built up and still bolt to the K24 or the LS motors...it could maybe save swappers and guys later some $$$. So are you suggesting the transmission itself just can't hold power based on drastic revisions of design, or that just all the parts have to be replaced with better? IE: better bearings, billet forks etc.?? Quite interested since I am in manufacturing and a transmission I work with has no aftermarket whatsoever, so thanks for telling us who you have been working with.

Congrats at Verus for this. I didnt know this existed and just read up on posts from last year.
Id love to try it but unfortunately the cost-risk analysis for me as a daily driver is just too much for me. One day.... 400whp+ in our chassis must be monsterous. |

It seems like it would be a lot more cost efficient to just figure out a way to swap another transmission in like a T56 magnum. Rather than buy a bunch of expensive parts to bolster up the stock transmission.

More efficient just to buy a different car.

Sad but true. As inviting as this platform is, it is an expensive one to play with.
