[QUOTE="speedfreak94, post: 10504234, member: 104543"] I have to disagree with you, SlowSVT. We recognize that the T-56 is a good box, but to say that you will "never" break it due to elevated power levels is a bit of a stretch. Furthermore, there is a lot more to the Magnum than a mere synchro upgrade I assure you. SickAss, there are a variety of things that could have eventually led to damage like that... For starters the input is the one gear that is made to carry torque constantly. Start pouring the coals to it the way you are with a TT Cobra and you've accerated the intended duty cycle of that part tremendously. Another possibility is that the pocket bearing became worn, allowed the input to move just slightly away from the cluster, and wa-la--chunky steel soup. Yet another possibility could be 'fretting' caused from using certain race-oriented synthetic lubes. Once you wear through the case hardened surface on a gear, the rest of it may as well be made of jello for all the power you're throwing at it. Don't loose faith man, and don't go the auto route! Call RSG, if that's what you've had in mind and they'll be able to set you right. Just be honest with them about what it is you're trying to acheive and how you intend to use the car. There are plenty of other Tremec shops (Liberty, Hanlon, ProMotion, etc.) that are capable of helping you too. Best of luck and sorry for the hijack! [/QUOTE]
