JO motorsports 5speed
Anyone using it at 300whp like its advertised for? Any issues with it? I've been having trouble finding a 6speed and I'm trying to find anything that can finally let me turn the boost up.

I ordered two 6 speeds shipped to my door from that UK parts seller that posts in the classifieds here. They showed up pretty quick too.

Did you search? I feel like I was reading through a somewhat recent thread about someone using a built 5 speed successfully; I am not sure if it was the JO one, but someone on here is running one at that power level. Id keep looking for 6 speeds, even if you have to ship -- I grabbed one for $600 not too long ago in NY

unfortunately I'm in the states. Everyone here in my immediate area is only selling 5speeds right now or trying to sell a 200k mile 6 speed for $2000.

Yeah like maplewood said I live in Arizona... you can see it to the left there under my username. I paid less than $1400 for two of them shipped to my door if I remember correctly. Go poke around the classifieds. |
I think going price was 645ea from prestige or thereabouts.

If I could get a 5 speed that can take 300WHP, I'd toss my 6 speed. Ive gone through 2 (soon to be 3) 6 speeds and none shifted as nice as my 5 speed.

Currently sitting at 300whp @ 19lbs I've driven the car pretty damn hard, drifting, bang rev limiter in 5th, etc. I have no issues so far. Shifting is 10/10 I love this trans. I have never really babied it. I'm actually going to buy a second one from JO soon just to have as a backup. Hopefully won't need it. But if I do manage to go through the two, then its time for BMW. |
But if you still doubt his 5 speed strength, he does rebuild 6 speeds for the same price. He claims his 5 speeds are stronger then a stock 6 speed, and relatively the same strength between rebuilt 5, and 6 speed.
Just email/call him if you have more questions. He's pretty easy to talk to and will explain to you better than we can, on why his 5 speeds will last. Overall I'm really happy with how its holding up. I'm pretty sure I would of grenaded multiple 5 speeds by now. |
