New Turbo = Blown Tranny

781 Views 6 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  ASG14
Well, I got my BIG EVO III 16g ported and put in and BAM. Too much fun leads to a broken shift fork and its not stuck in 4th. Enjoy the last good run though. I'm currently rebuilding and upgrading the tranny with better syncrhos and stuff.

What sux is that I have to DROP the tranny yet again in the street and watch my baby grace the front of my parents apartment for another couple of weeks :headbang:

well...good to hear that the turbo is in good shape and boosting hard. sorry to hear about the shift fork.


but c'mon...you drive a dsm...what did you expect to experience except for a nice looking car sitting in a driveway/street/garage and not running? :lol:

on a more serious note...maybe I'll consider getting a new shiftfork next time I part my engine/tranny for whatever reason.
should have got an automatic, I love mine :p: one hell of a launch.
I always thought those things had a tough tranny... ?

Let me know when its up and running I wanna come check it out!!

I was gonna come over to that mini meet at Adams but that was the day I was installing the turbo. Ill try to make it out to the next one though.

Its nots as elegant as your car but its got power. As for the tranny, nah. lol They are notorious for going through transmissions like tight underwear. This is my second one so far. This time im gonna upgrade it to hold more power so I dont have to keep going through trannys again.
