Posted 12/09/05 07:15 AM Share Posted 12/09/05 07:15 AM The thing we all must remember is this....If you can put something together, you can take it appart. You just need the right tools to do it.Even the best safes in the world can be broken into if you have the right tools. If you know how to manufacture one, you know how to take it appart... There is almost nothing that a diamond silicon carbide drill won't dig through, and almost nothing that you cannot melt if you make it hot enough...The point is? The new 6speed IS NOT A SAFE. It isn't built to keep people out, in the sense that the sole purpose of the unit is not to protect what's inside...Therefore, if you have the right tools, you can take it appart and strengthen whatever you want, so long as you have a custom forger and custom machinist nearby...They said the Black oak ECU was 'virtually un touchable'.Now we have an Edit that can change entire management programs in under 2 minutes...This gearbox is in the same boat; it will only take time and investment before someone comes up with a specific method in which to pull these boxes appart and start to customise what is inside.... You'll probably find this gearbox can handle 800+nm, all day every day, if given to the right mechanic to pull appart and modify...If possible, a longer 1st gear would be handy as well....
