If my car actually made some kind of real power, mine would look like this after the first hard pull. My trans sounds like a soup can full of marbles when I am fully on or off the throttle. Go me, running it dry with no oil for 10 miles. It's held up for 3 years since then though.

I guess I should be knocking on wood. I've been beating the **** out of my 5spd with just shy of 300whp, track days, hill climbs, drag racing etc. and so far no breakage.
That's what the RX7 transmission in my garage is for. Once my 5spd decides to give up it's ghost, which is only a matter of time... I'll make the RX7 trans fit. It's an FD trans, but the gearing is awesome. My fav gearing on a car ever (on my old FD) at the track.

I'm going to try this:

At least cryo and shot peening. I haven't decided 100% on WPC or not. It couldn't hurt, but it would cost several hundred dollars, and I don't know if I want to put that kind of cash into a trans that may still be a time bomb when I'm done with it.
