You should find another game to play if you can't afford this one. |

What are you even saying? What is the point of saying that in this thread? Because I don't like the idea of throwing another $3,000 at my car to get it back on the road and enjoy it? Sorry if I'm a little bummed that this tranny died.

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
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.

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
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

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
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?

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
I emailed Shep the other day, John Shepard replied a few hours later. He has a few interesting suggestions and offers.
One thing I will point out, he said Syncromesh is way too thin to protect the gears under heavy loads like freeway pulls. Ooops.
My Prism is pending sale tomorrow AM, guy put $500 cash down to hold it.
Should be getting some goodies pretty soon if all pans out aka twin and a stg 4.

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
Well the Prism is sold
And after you have done this about 16 times (literally), on my back, going slow as heck, 2.5 hrs later the tranny is out.
Isn't this a typical picture...
Decisions, decisions. Do I even need a twin? My car isn't showing signs of slipping, but I just can't launch hard. I secretly want to blame the clutch. But no symptoms.

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
The only thing I don't like about my twin is the noise from the unsprung disc's.

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
Dunno what the trouble is launching that thing is. I launched mine with the 61 on it a few times, you gotta give it a split second of slip while you let it out off the launch limiter, by that time you should be shredding the tires.

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
Ive learned 3000RPM isnt no where near enough to go anywhere when launching. To scared to try anything higher. Once you guys totally have it figured out. Ill be a gimme pig trying the various techniques out.
