sometimes they do just fine... they are weak, but shit, you people act like if you put a k&n drop in filter in, that you might as well go ahead and buy a new tranny.
john (boostin 97 se-r's) seemed to hold up fine.
i wasn't really commenting on the strength of the tranny so much as the strength of the motor
sr20's ( both in DE and DET form ) are extremely stout motors... and while i'm sure the tranny's aren't made ENTIRELY of glass... i've heard of way more people breaking the tranny before the motor ever goes.
