Sorry about the mistake but thanks for being so polite in correcting me. And your not the only guys I've talked to about the transmission situation that everyone is running into with high horsepower cars so didn't mean to relay bad information but thanks for the verbal abuse.:bbb:
Hey man, I wasn't trying to attack you! I was just like, holy shit, do we !??! I had to call up Ray just to make sure! Maybe you talked to Jason, and I know at one point that a giken gearbox was on the agenda, but we never got aroudn to it. I'm sorry if I came off the wrong way.
I have this 6 speed just sitting here, it's brand new. I would love to put it into a 240SX, but if you want it, you can have it for pretty cheap. Maybe a nice street car KA or something. I have the driveshaft for it as well.
Regardless, I agree with you that it is the driveline shock that kills the transmissions. 90% of the time you end up snapping the output shaft ona hard launch. Derek Greaser with a fully stripped coupe and 350whp ran a 10.9 in his car witha 1.44 60' time. He stressed that you had to be as gentle as possible getting it out of the hole though, and if you listen to it, it is. He's about the best 240sx driver I've ever met, and even driving ont he street he is very smooth about it. He uses high rpms and alot of slip to get it out of the hole, and it works. He's never broken a transmission in his old drag car, for the record.
