Re: stock tranny question

What he said. Stock tranny longevity depends if you are retarded or not, how goodhart had trouble with his at only 250/250 is pretty amazing.

I broke my center diff after about 10k of idiotic type launches but I can say at least 50 were on that one, after that I realized if I didn't want to break them I should be nicer.

There are plenty of people with some 135+ cars on stock trans, don't be an idiot with it and it will be good to you.

4 spiders are awesome, if you don't mind and are on a budget you can do a welded diff, i only say that because of the awesome ebay clutch you linked too.

These cars can go pretty quick on teh cheap, but don't be stupid.

Pretty amazing to me too, since the first one was bad when I got the car, the second I launched about 10 times total in 6 months on a stock rebuild, and it exploded while shifting nicely at 3k rpm. After that I was ripped off on one trans, and another came with a bad first gear.
