chris blew 3 trannies, 1 being sr and it had a grind in third, 2nd was a ka tranny on sr bellhousing same thing grind, then third ka tranny he blew that to shit because ka trannies suck,

now he has a mint sr tranny

i have had the same tranny in my car since i got it, and beat the shit out of it, mine grinds in 4th, but who cares its a track car

lol pete gear sets are sick, 1st to 3rd is all i will need for drifting for what i want to do, once im in gear tranny should hold up to the power

Straight cut gears are stronger than helical ones, but their engagement is very rough in comparison. The helical gears are at an angle, so that they engage smoother, but this makes them more prone to breakage, etc. I believe that 99% of all street cars have helical gears, not sure if it does, but I think the Porsche GT3 might have straight cut.

Helical gears are also used over straight because the are less noisy when engaged. All reverse gears in manual transmissions are straight, that is why you hear that distinctive sound when you reverse.

with that power 4th gear is a drift gear

That was sick but i would need to get hearing aides after driving that shits soo high pitch

[jeff93eg]

helical gears are cut on an angle to give more surface area so they can stand up to more torque. More surface area = less chance of breaking… plus its alot more quiet

1st gear straight cut for drifting is an absolute waste. You need 2nd through 4th.

the type of gear has nothing to do with engagement, Helical gears are in street cars because they are quieter no other reason, that wierd whirrrrr noise going in reverse is because the reverse gear is always a straight cut gear

Helical gears = Quieter= More load on the bearings in the tranny on high horsepower apps

Straight cut gears = louder = considerably less load on bearings in tranny
