jonlabree Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I was under the impression that the transmission that you put in was so much better than the stock one, What happened.My rebiult stock transmission will light up the tires on most surfaces.Jon....

D-a-n-i-e-l Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 The tranny is the OEM that came behind the series one supercharged and early series two. Did I mention the tranny only had 50k on it. It was a Goodwrench rebuild. It look pretty bad but I think Recian had it pretty close to right. This is only the differential housing. I am going to pull one from the yard today and see it it is repairable without pulling the tranny. Also if it is not too hard of a job I will be ordering the LSD for it in the near future.

Guest Recian Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 from the pics the bolt that holds the big wrist pin for the spider gears sheered off. Theyre usually lock-tite'd in so they shouldnt back out. It should be doable without pulling the tranny out. Just depends what's on the other side holding the carrier in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonlabree Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I have a friend who will harden up a stock Reatta transmission so you can do burn-outs all day if you wish. He worked for GM making hardened parts fo thier transmissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCReatta Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I want (essentially) to be able to put a S/C engine in, and do burn outs all day and night and it be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 As long as the burnout keeps on going and both tires are spinning you are fine. It is when just one tire is spinning and then grabs that things go kerpow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-a-n-i-e-l Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Here is the final damage. I already put a new end cover. differential, final drive shaft, and final drive gear.
