yeah. i bought his billet side cover, shift arrester and billet shift forks for the 996. they will all "do the 997 box" aka rebuild it with mostly stock parts.

 

Humm that is weird he asked me what power I wanted and would build to that. Granted I am less than 2 hours from him and could leave the tranny there.


Take a look at your dyno and then the normal RPM and speed number when you shift and how you shift. That might help you narrow down your needs. Or help with longevity of it. In my exp. its usually 2nd or 3rd that goes and not saying you are that guy, but the dude is grabbing for 2nd and trying to balance the gear change with getting the best time and sometimes the shift isnt as clean as it should be for the power.
Granted most of my exp is with BMWs and then to a much lesser extent Vettes.

i shift when the gear that im in runs out ....

 

Well a dyno will tell you the power, I am sure you know LOL, and you can figure how much is being dumped into your tranny at the shift from 2nd to 3rd. You should be able to ask the tuners with the big power packages with a pretty darn good HP number your tranny is getting hit with.

If you are making runs and only shifting once then I would say its something else because 2nd should be the gear that goes. A lot of cars depending on the ratio burn 3rd, maybe because its a push shift instead of a pull but guys grind the hell out of third. Buddy bought a used M3 put a blower on it and lost third pretty quick replaced it with stock and was fine, turns out the previous owner learned to drive on it and like to "power shift"

If you are making 3 shifts is there any history on the car? I am just thinking that you should be losing 2nd too. I just hope you dont need to drop $$$ on a tranny and hope its just a one time thing.

 

what in the world are yoooooooouuu talking about ? what do you care for history of the car, what is a one time thing?

just to clear it up for the most clueless member of the 997 forum: my 997 has no current issues with transmission and i am looking to upgrade it so that it stays that way or i am looking to hear from members who put some hard miles on their stock gearboxes.

its like you are imagining stuff in your head instead of actually reading, stick to tuner-battle and vacuum line testing threads.

 

Read your first post and Learn how a transmission works before you post. You are so into your self and think you have a clue.

Seriously how dumb can one person be. Did you forget your pills.

Lol you have no Problems..... No tuner had any problems. And you are giving me crap about worrying over Nothing?

Haha hahahahhahaha OMFG thanks for the laugh. I really thought you were smarter than that

 

my first post said that i broke a 996tt gearbox previously, in a 996tt, years ago. in a 996tt gearbox 3rd gear is weak, but you haven't gotten to that lesson yet since you are still making nooblet threads about which stock turbo tune is the safest.....

i'm glad it made you laugh ...... because you know what they say about people that aren't so bright, they often laugh to cover up the fact that they in fact know nothing of the topic being discussed. with every additional post you make its very clear that you know nothing on the topic of Porsche gearboxes besides that your car has one in it. i doubt you'd recognize one if it fell into your lap.

let me reiterate why i feel that you completely incompetent and clueless

Since when is clutch part of a transmission?


that is false, an upgraded clutch will increase wear on the tranny

Find him yet ?

Nothing interesting about that except the fact that you made it up and it is 100% false

lol a dyno had nothing to do with upgrading a transmission or how you shift whats so ever.

maybe stick to sharing your exp m3post and ls1tech since its useless here

^^^ no LOL i LOL don't LOL know LOL



only thing that shifts once in a full run is a powerglide

more priceless info from Squat

Thanks for the remote diagnosis of my perfectly functioning gearbox.

meanwhile ill go back in my dumb world and learn how a transmission works..... oh wait ..... i already have.

 

Seems as though there is some confusion about whether upgraded internals from a 996 gearbox can be swapped over to a 997 case. I have an email from Rader saying that it's no problem. I intend to do just that. Will update when/if it's a success.

 

Cam, that is because you have a 997 GT2 not a 997TT AWD. 997 GT2 parts fit into the 996TT box but they will not fit into 997TT AWD box. You can ask Rader, that is the reason why Rader initially built an upgraded 996TT box for Anthony's 997TT.

 

Ok got it.

 

Factory LSD option car, Rader has some gears for our tranny if it does end up breaking. Till then I will enjoy the terrible gear ratio Porsche chose to give us.

 

I've heard of clutch blowing but to be honest..I've never heard someone blow a tranny or diff...I dragged my car on track and street like it was nobody's business last year and the car took it like a champ.....on the same note I know 2 turbos with 680+ @ wheels and they keep waiting for something to snap......both have said they are surprised who well the car takes it....only issue I've heard from either is snapping the crank pin.....

 

prodigy and garth from undercover and tim941nyc are absolute champions when it comes to breaking the porsche trans and diff!!!! can't nobody break a trans like garth! of course these cars have 1000+ to 1400rwhp. hard launches at the track. no dyno queens here

 

Ouch,,,,,1000 awhp launch...I'm surprised the car dosent snap in half....those cars are track monsters....prod..was asking for dyno number limits for lower then those numbers...
