I miss serious transmissions. These coffee can size transmissions in our front wheel drive cars can't possibly take the abuse of the transmissions behind yesterday's V8's. I'm not saying most of us abuse them but these guys that are dragging their FWD cars are just asking for trouble. It only stands to reason. These things are just economy transportation. The Muncie "Rock Crusher", the old Borg Warner T-10, Turbo 400, Ford top loader and others, had to see duty on the track behind some serious HP. I think our little trannies need babied beyond belief to survive.
There are two vocations that import racers are going to help skyrocket:
1. Ear doctors due to their over loaded sound systems and buzzy exhuast.
2. Transmission repairmen.
I'm not implying anyone has abused their tranny on this post thread. I'm just saying I'm real skeptical of what these trannies are good for in stock form.
