Has anyone experienced/solved the problem with the 10r80 slipping in 7th gear once you start making close to 1000Whp?
Hasn't happened to me personally as I'm still waiting on my turbos to come in but saw this happened to another car on here awhile back.

900-1000whp seems to be where they are having issues. Freaking impressive!

I think the "solution" Manuel went with was ensuring he crossed the line at the top of 6th instead of shifting to 7th. I think he did this with a taller tire and maybe changing the rear gear ratio but not sure.

Kind of a band-aid fix but better than dealing with a slipping 7th gear.

Yeah thats exactly what they did. They got the new 315/50/17 ET Street R. I plan on getting those as well. Trying to find an iron diff with 3.15's to swap into my car right now as well

Wouldn't upgraded clutches solve this issue? I'm sure Exedy will be making them soon for the 10R80 like they do for the 6R80.

No clutches or converters available yet but they are coming. There are several teams out testing converters. For now stay out of 7th gear lol

Lol. We are so spoiled.
$30k car boosted to 1000whp with quick shifting auto. 1st world problems.

Can you “over stuff” an extra set of clutches and then carefully let them “wear in” so they arent binding?
Add a little TiO or diamond dust to trans fluid?
Just need a smidgen more friction to hold...

Lol, if you get to 8th at 1000whp....:crazy:
