ZF rebuild them back to standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That adds up to 2.4kms at full throttle with a little bit extra for burnouts. Less than what a lot of people would do in a week I would've thought? A box can feel as strong as the day it was put in until the second it breaks.So what exactly does the "plenty" entail to make them stronger? From what I've heard, there's not much you can do apart from kevlar bands, a coupla extra clutches, valve body mod, AU planetries and edit. They're just not made to handle 700+ nm of torque for too long, even with those mods.I reckon a 3 speed C9 or similar with a gear vendors over/under drive (giving you 6 speeds including one overdrive) would be the go. 8k ought to do it!
