Default Breaking 2nd gear from a roll...

I didn't think it was possible. I figured even shitty DSM trannies were strong enough to handle power and usually broke due to hard shifting, but apparently not. Turned the boost up to 29psi, rolled on from low in 2nd gear, shifted normally (i.e. lightly) into third, nothing out of the ordinary. Came to a stop and tranny is knocking very loud. Tranny shifts fine, 2nd is a little notcher than normal and doesn't quite feel right, but doesn't grind. It does however vibrate very bad and makes a howling noise sort of like a dog box, but not that high pitched.

Any thoughts or opinions? I can't see breaking a gear in a relatively strong tranny and a <450hp car from a roll on.

Shep is gay. I don't want a new tranny, I want you to buy my car.

haha, speaking of dsm's, theres this awd talon down the street that he claims hes running 21 psi on the stock turbo. as far as i know he said he has done no engine mods and just up'd the boost without no tune. i wonder if my slow *** hatch when boosted could knock him out.......any thoughts?

i cranked the boost on my conquest to 18psi with everything stock...

hell, i can bolt on a 16g, turn the boost to 15-18psi, without touching the fuel system or anything.

I had my 16g on 18psi with stock injectors. Car wasn't very fast, like ~260 wheel. You'll probably take him.
