Shitty man. FP has these. Maybe you can try one of them?

[99gsxjoel]

Might have to. Depending if they are going to charge a shit ton to make mine work.

Who built the turbo? I'd be on the phone with them asap to figure out what the deal is.

Turbolab built it.

[99gsxjoel]

Its wasn't the turbo so I cant really blame them for it yet... the wastage they gave me didn't fit with my j pipe, and because I was in a time crunch I just put the one that was on my evo3. It was blowing the wastage open even with it unplugged. So need to get a stronger WG on and then it should be good. I hope.

[turbotalon1g]

Shitty.

[99gsxjoel]

BOOM!!!!! Went the transmission.... dam the just fell apart accelerating in 3rd.

[goodhart]

What's the plan now anyways?

[CornFed2.4]

He's pulling it apart this weekend check to see if its actually built and fixing.

The way he made it sound built trans just don't break like that, at least at his power level.

[turbotalon1g]

^X2

[99gsxjoel]

Reduild and fix it. Going to start pulling it apart tomorrow.

[LingLing]

Dude! Sorry to hear about your trans. I also find it suspect that 4th went like it did. IIRC someone else had an issue with their TRE on here. Maybe they can chime in on their customer service side of things?

[goodhart]

Jon is great to work with on resolving issues imo. Since you bought it used, you can't really expect him to warranty anything, but he should be able to identify if its one of his transmissions or not.

[99gsxjoel]

I think it is going to go to shep.

[turbotalon1g]

I choose Shep or Jack's if I had to, probably Jack's.

[CornFed2.4]

If this is a poll. I vote jack's.

Blackrosenova could probably get ya back up and have a solid trans to.

Buy jets and swap cases.

[blackrosenova400]

Thanks for recommending me!

These transmissions are heartbreakers. Its sucks too because 3/4 tend to strip out at high loads and tend to take out other gears with them. You can shim the shafts tigher so the gears have a harder time seperating from each other under heavy load, but it will only help so much, plus more heat is generated with bearing tolerances set tighter.

Jon at Tre Transmissions is a good guy. You can tell he is knowledgable and passionate about his work, and is pretty sold on the idea of shotpeening gearsets.
