My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3

[CarPsyco84]

Dog box, ftw. heh, I just roasted the scm61 again. disposable trannys, disposable turbos. Shit all wears out fast at 500-600hp.

[santa]

I use the Redline Heavy Shock proof in my rear-end. I will have to call Shep and get some suggestions. I just don't like the idea of "disposible transmissions" lol... Time for a new platform? Sell me your blown up stage 3 :)

I don't know, I would at least ask Shep what went wrong... As a transmission performance business, I am sure that they would like to know. It is not everyday that something like that happens. That way they can prevent whatever went wrong. That looks like it needed a scatter shield

It is supposed to take the HP. 3 years and only 15,000 miles isn't that much.
That is if you weren't beating on it and grinding every gear. But it sounds like you wanted a good reliable trans

[sleepydsm]

For two or three years the car made 200hp and I drive it 75% like a granny and 25% beating the hell out of it. It has seen many launches and stuff. I know how to row through the gears without grinding or being a dumbass?
Only in the last year, definately less than 10,000 miles, more like 7,000 of dynojet corrected 400ft-lbs and 520awhp. I bought this tranny thinking it would last, unrealistically, like, forever lol.

wtf, mate.

[4g63tcrazy]

I would be in the same boat as you. If I spent that much money on a tranny that's supposed to hold my power, I would expect it to last the life of the damn car haha. Given you take care of it and shift it correctly. Which it sounds like you have..

[blackawdtsi]

Is this a DSM forum or a GTR forum? "$x was spent on my car and the trans blew up?! Somebody owes me something!!!11ONE"

Kevin, you should be thanking Shep your trans lasted three years.

Damn am I glad my dsm's gone.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

I destroyed my TRE tranny on it's 3rd pass down the track. Fixed it then it ripped apart on the dyno after a few pulls.

[turbotalon1g]

My TRE trans is still here, I got it because I was scared my $20 trans wouldnt make it down to TX, I am a dumbass.

My TRE is amazing falls into gear with ease, held up to launches and highway runs just fine and the taller 5th has given me a noticable mpg increase plus it still pulls if you ever need to shift into 5th lol

[sleepydsm]

The transmission worked great for a very long time. Only in one day did things go bad.

Why should I be happy my tranny lasted three years, 2/3s at stock power levels, and 1/3 at double stock power levels?
