Need help. MT82 just took a dump. I don't know exactly what's broken but I noticed a hole in the bell housing where it looks like something shot out of the transmission. Driving 5mph, in first gear rolling down a hill, all of a sudden I hear what sounded like rocks bouncing around in a tin can. Shut the car off... looked underneath the car and noticed transmission fluid leaking from the transmission. Car will not start. I'm thinking I need a new starter, clutch, slave cylinder and of course a new transmission. I currently have a McLeod rst clutch in the car. I don't think the clutch exploded at 5mph but with my luck... who the fuck knows. I wont know anything until I take it to a shop and they can pull the transmission out. Sooo I know magnum XL can handle 700lbs of tq but I don't know how much ben calimer stage 3 can handle. I also know the XL is more expensive since I'll need more parts to make it work. My car makes 713 on 93 and 590 lbs of tq the most it's made with a pound and a half more boost and a gallon of 110 was 741hp 622tq. What do you guys think is broken? And what would you do if you where in my shoes? Thanks

The crank position sensor reads the flywheel, so if whatever happened took out the sensor or the teeth on the tone wheel it may not start, or the starter is fooked up. Check engine light? If you get the Calimer stage 3 with the 26 spline output, it will handle your power level, and it bolts right up without a new driveshaft. Any transmission can blow up depending on how hard you beat on it.

Holy sh*t how did that happen going 5mph
“sheep dog” is right any transmission can break at any time doesn’t matter if it’s build or not
6r80 swap is about 4000 dollars

My guess would be that the bolts weren't Tighted properly on the starter When the clutch was installed.

Bro... Im so fucking confused. Wanting for the shop to take it apart and see what happened. Planning for the worst. Probably new clutch, slave cylinder, starter I know the transmission done with a hole in the bell housing. I think it just so happened to go out while we were going 5mph. I do alot of rolls but on 60 rolls..3rd-5th gear.

Also is a stock magnum XL stronger then a ben calimer stage 3?
I believe so
I had a conversation with Ben just last week
and ask him about the power levels on the stage 3 he said 800-900 hp

I’ll start saving money now so maybe I can buy a used one
