Re:d series trans

I have never broken anything on the inside of my a tranny, but I sure did ---- up the outside of one. I have done several 6500rpm drops and the tranny held up fine.

I guess some are stronger than others? Kinda like how some motors blow within a week of boosting and some just keep going and going......

I've broke a few shift forks and a few diff's on some l3 trannys before.

The ZC L3 tranny is the strongest of the bunch.

Re:d series trans

its important to remember that civics arent sports cars, they're economy cars, they didnt design they trannys to hold up with tons of a abuse and high-horsepower motors with slicks.
