6MT durability?

[Kong76]

One of their cars with a stage 2 build is handling 1000 hp no problems.

There is a video on youtube of him running the quarter with a built mt82 beating the shit out of it and it looks smooth as ever.

hmm I mean if stage 1 can handle 500 tq and I can drive it like I'm hitting vtec I'll buy that for 800 lol. I'm staying na.

 

[Kong76]

Yea I think stage 1 will for sure let you drive in Vtec mode.

Decided to save up for the magnum xl and RST swap. Had it with this mt82. Noisy,grindy, vibrational inconsistent piece of shit.

wheres a source for the magnum? when I google it I see it for S197 but not S550. And it just a drop in with no other mods?

what about his tr6060 swaps, they seen pretty cheap. and my mt82 is still good granted it's 4k miles. but I mean you do the xl swap then you've got a spare mt82 for a sn95 coyote swap

sn95 coyote with maxim motorsports suspension shit Is amazing

Two places. Blow by racing and JPC racing. Ill go JPC as it comes out a bit cheaper with shipping.

T56/tr6060 are not direct drop in. My 6060 came from Ben.
Clutch disk needs to be resplined to match new input shaft.
Need a shorter DS.
New MGW.
Will need a Dakota Digital speedo box.
Optional lockout box.

Besides those items, direct swap.

 

[ZanarkO]

so what's the full price on a magnum swap vs tr6060 from ben

 

[ZanarkO]

so wouldn't it be more cost effective to build the mt82 then. or is the magnum better resale value in the future?

 

[Kong76]

JPC magnum xl kit comes with an aluminum one piece shaft, speed box and your choice of clutch with Mcleods costing a tad more. Only other thing is the reverse lockout requires some clearance of the tunnel.

I won't be getting rid of the car once this goes in. I will be selling the MT 82 though.

 

[jhatley7]

I've been told that a built MT-82 isn't as strong as a stock T56, let alone a built TR6060.

 

[ZanarkO]

so how much are mint condition mt82 trannys worth?

 

[ZanarkO]

dumb question but if I put a magnum in my car will it void my engine warranty?
