Well, it looks like the tranny in Cooked!!

My tranny guys called me up and told me the news, all 3 clutch plates are burnt completely, so they will have to be replaced with high flex ones which should hold the power. And secondly, the differential (sp?) has spun a bearing so they need to order parts from the factory, that means I`m going to pay out the ass on this one! He asked me if the car even shifted at all, let alone put any power to the ground, I told, I raped new RSX Type S, 3 lights in row... he laughed, then I laughed, then I started to cry again once he started on the bill...

You fried a triple plate clutch? impressive.




Edit: my bad, I thought you had 5spd.

Sorry to hear that, Sam. When we talked in London, you were interested in the MT tranny swap. Why the sudden change of heart??

My guess 'brake torqueing' the engine is fun.

How much boost do you run? I'm assuming the turbo is aftermarket??? Correct?
