The limits on the motor are as much a question of driving style and maintenance than anything. Stock motors go just from abuse and poor maintenance.

I believe Mike is saying that generally the Jackson is recommended not the Kraftwerks. Check the kraftwerks thread there's been a bunch of problems with belts and tensioners.
Jackson can't think of any issues off the top of my head except for the centrifugal units themselves failing. I've no idea what the failure rate is. I stayed away mostly because of how the powerband is.

I’m running a Harrop on e85 and FlexFuel outputting 226kw and have had no issues. You just don’t floor it at low revs in fourth. I do have a spare transmission ready to install though. |

Do they just let go all of a sudden? My trans feels fine after 14k Edelbrocked miles.

It probably depends on how someone drives.

As far as I know there is no alternative, not reasonably priced that doesn’t require cutting and hammering, trans for the car.. if there is, and it’s not a $15k sequential, I stand corrected.

in other words: Are you putting it into first from 900 rpm and normally driving, or are you dumping it at 4k rpm and constantly ripping through your gears? Do you have normal street tires, or do you have super grippy tires while you shift aggressively into high RPMs from lower RPMs. Quote:

Mazworks CD009 requires minimal cutting and welding. No real hammering.

Why is 2nd so finicky?! It’s the one gear that I’m always very careful about. In the “winter” (I live in north Texas), I usually skip 2nd until the trans fluid is warmed up. Even in the summer I’m careful. Going into 1st there is sometimes resistance, but I can usually move back into neutral, then back into 1st and everything is fine. I’m sure that shift feel, and being able to hold torque in each gear, aren’t always directly related. I’m at stock power levels on the Michelin Primacys. With more power I would be very paranoid about the six speed holding up. Some of you guys are really brave. I still think it’s a great transmission, with a really solid mechanical feel. I think it’s similar to a Honda MT, maybe not quite as precise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Try replacing the transmission oil with something else. I've experienced 1st gear lock out occasionally when my mileage was under 60k? Now that I'm in the 107k my transmission shifts almost flawlessly (although it could use some polyurethane mounts to eliminate some of the slop). I've found Motul gear 300 75w-90 to be your best bet based on the recommended weights per manual and viscosity data.
