Unfortuneately the only mods you can use to actually improve the longevity of your tranny requires a complete rebuild. Check out the list of vendors that can be found on my web page.

I was thinking about gettin the Thrasher race tranny or the ZZ Performance tranny and wanted to see if anyone else had used them befor so i could get some feedback on either one to find out which one is better or if they are about the same. wink

I have no experience with either one and can't recommend one over the other. Sorry.

Well, I haven't used one but I can tell you Intense makes a tranny too. Also, I can pretty much say that they would all help the tranny survive more of a beating. If you look at ZZP's tranny page it gives some details about what you need to upgrade to keep consistently pulling off certain 1/4 times without the tranny breaking.

Other than that all I can say is that Intense seems to be a little cheaper price wise, has billet steel flywheel option unlike Thrasher, and an LSD unlike ZZP. All these sites encourage anybody with questions to e-mail them so I suggest reading up on them a little and then asking some questions to determine which one you would like.

I think Intense is having issues with their tranny's that they aren't admitting any guilt to, or something like that. I think this was one of the top issues that caused a lot of people to go south with Intense.

If you mean the LSD then they have been addressing that recently and are about to release a 3rd generation.
