Despite an apparent "weakness" rumors of the dsm trannies, they are nowhere near as glass as wrxs. In fact, those arent as bad as they are made to be.
Why a lot of trannies fail is people dump the clutch and do not know how to preload the drivetrain for a launch. I dont expect to upgrade the tranny in at least the next year, if not two, but by two I will want to build my engine so tranny will also go too.
Clutch is my weak point also. I run a SBR3500 Clutch with XACT chromoly flywheel. Good combo, but they only recommend it up to 350whp setups, and with cams and intake manifold I may hit that. I will easily hit it if I upgrade my turbo again, which sucks because I just got this clutch in 6 months ago.
And if I break my tranny, all yall can laugh at me. But for now ill stand by it, when 90% of the people I talked to when I talked about getting my current setup, said I would blow my motor the first week. Or I would put it into a wall, or that it would start breaking down. Well guess what bitches, none of that happened. It didnt start once because the fuse fell out of my fuseholder for my fuel pump.
