There would be a hell of alot more stress doin it in 2nd than 1st I would imagine. At the drags I normally only held it for 4 secs but might have been a touch more this time & I did do it a couple times in a row over a couple of minutes.The box will be back in in about 3wks so im sure it wont be affected too much. Will keep it in a cool, dry area sealed up so that should help. The drums are full as so its got half a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still dont know the full extent but will know al the details by about 10am tomorrow & should be ready to go by the arvo. All he could tell me so far is that's one of the worst he's ever had through there. Ive twisted the input shaft to within an ml of snapping & the oil pump is smashed with bits of it missing. All excited to hear what damage ive done at least ive done a good job of it lol. Cant wait to get it back in the car & ramp that boost on as hard as mechanically possible.

Until you get the invoice.If you smash the reco box then it may be back to a 3spd for you. Youy could put a Gear Vendors unit behind that to regain your overdrive. They take 1200hp standard. Its only money and apparently it grows on trees in some places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be good for 500kw & abit which is my ultimate goal anyway.Not sure its completely stuffed it might only be the oil pump & the input shaft which I would of got changed regardless because the new ones are heat treated in turn stronger. Im not holding my breathe but hey what ever it is it is there not much I can do about it now. With the built box & eng even with the std turbo how much fun would 20psi at below 3000rpm. anyone for smoke!!!Money doesnt grow on trees at least not for me but my car doesnt go around without a box so what can ya do.
