damn travis, how much did that cost?! and when did that happen?

 

Oh, man that was some time ago. Used 2005 tranny with 26 miles on it, $500 bucks. So, not to bad. I have replaced 3 clutches and two tranny's in this car.

 

If your looking for dog gears for you car i can help you with that. The only reason i say that stock last longer is there is alot of maintenance in the dog gears.

 

I am running a comp clucth stage 5 I was told its good for well over any thing a tc motor can put out. rhythmnsmoke is right most tc r in the 250whp to 300whp range.

 

Must have been a daily driven car, which would make sense for the wear and maintenance, but at the drag strip it has to hurt to run syncros.

Thanks for the input all, I was seeing if you all were running enough hp and having enough problems to warrent upgraded gears, but it seems that not enough of you are there and those who are don't really want them.
Congrats to Toyota, who apparantly made a box that has no problems with 300-750hp.

If anyone has a need for upgraded gears let me know.

 

your right...technically "dog boxes" are just a set of gears with "dogs" that fit into slots on the receiving gear eliminating the use of synchros. but the term "dog box" is also slang for the sequential transmissions found in road racing and rally...which is what i thought he was referring to.

 

oh,my bad.

 

Garabaldy is running 12.8's on stock axels.

 

Toyota has had a pretty good history with tranny's

 

So I take it you work with production of dog boxes etc?

 

No, but have a good source that can make just about anything dog or synchro top of the line gearsets, but it doesn't sound like the Scion crew has much need for this. Props to Toyota.

 

Erikos
I'm sorry but i thought you were looking for gears not trying to sell gears. I already have a source for gears, but i would like to get a quote from your source. Please PM me with quote.

 

I have the same problem on mine too.

I just have to swap in the spare I have.

 

dog box anyone?


JK

if you can make anything for our trannies a taller final drive would be awesome, and many people on here would kill for one!

 

Is there such a thing as beefier Synchros (i.e. made out of stronger material or something)? If I could have those, it would be optimal for a street application that has enough power and crazy enough driver to break the syncrhos.

 

you could have them cryo'd

 

^^You think? Might have to look into something like that.

 

Do you mean that you shift without using the clutch pedal? If so then it is no wonder your synchros have gone out lol...

 

No, I use the clutch. Power shifting is never taking your foot off the gas. That's shifting without lifting.

Shifting without lifting provides benefits in keeping the turbo at peak boost. If you have a boost gauge, and you shift normal, you will see the boost drop, and then have to build back up. If you are Power shifting however, all you are going to see is a blip of the needle, and when you catch that next gear, there is no "building" of boost, as you don't drop in boost due to keeping your foot planted on that gas.

That's how I break synchros. However, my boy with the TRD S/C'er and every bolt-on had his 3rd gear synchro and 5th go out and he doesn't power shift. He's a little rough on shifting, but he doesn't power shift.

Power shifting is also referred to as "flat" shifting.

 

I learn something everyday on here, lol.

I never power____ either, and my trannys is screwed up.
