another blown 2nd gear thread
so pissed i have to rant. Just put a ap2 tranny in 3 months ago that was mint and i blew 2nd gear last night.This is the 2nd tranny that I blew 2nd gear. I'm making 440 if anyone is wondering. I don't even want to put another ap2 tranny in their,is any other options other than dog box? Any companies make adapter plates for different trannys?

Ap2 stuff is only incrementally stronger. If you are doing something that will break ap1 tranny/diff, it will break the ap2 tranny/diff.
I dont get on it in 2nd gear.
Options available now (besides driving with more care) are the supra tranny and PPG/Par gears.
Puddy is working on a tranny, and there are a few e36 tranny swaps out there.

Limit boost in 1st and 2nd gear and don't slam gears. I have 450 but limit it to 400 in 1 and 2. My trans has 2k miles on this and 10k on 350whp.
The killer is quick shifting. That and over 375wtq for 2nd gear. U should not be breaking trans as much as are IMHO.

Good advice. I only have boost limited to 13psi in 1st. I have ~20k miles at roughly the same power as you. I'm paranoid so I don't go WOT all the time in 2nd, and only race people in 3rd and up.
