[QUOTE="LightningLou, post: 16119809, member: 49114"] The mainshaft, first and second gear in my Audi S4 transmission are cryo treated and they have held up beautifully to many AWD 2-step launches and no-lift shifts with 600wtq or so on e85. It’s more of a preventive measure, but it definitely makes a significant difference in the life of highly stressed metal parts. Cryogenically freezing metal changes the molecular structure and increases the hardness of the metal. You are essentially creating a different type of metal by freezing it at -300 degrees or so. I can tell you first hand, that steel even looks different and my mainshaft had an almost “brushed” steel look to it after cryo treatment, whereas the stock shaft was very smooth and shiny in appearance. Almost looked like titanium afterwards instead of steel which was pretty awesome to see. Many IMSA race teams use it in numerous parts and especially with their carbon brake rotors to handle the numerous crazy heat cycles without cracking nearly as easy as they did prior. It’s cool technology, it does work, and is 100% legit. [/QUOTE]
