Thank you as well!Great idea to share these. Here are mine of #9:
My bet is inexperienced students who don’t know how/when to shift and who repeatedly sent too much load through the driveline. I was pretty shocked to see (and hear) so many students in my class that you’d swear had never driven a manual before. Which is odd since these cars were for an owner-only program. The other factor was likely an improper break-in period when Ford replaced the first trans at about 7500 miles.So was the trans internals imploded due to inexperienced Track Day drivers, or just a hard track whooping 9k mikes?
Wasn't that the flywheel going and in the same instance grenading the engine and the transmission?From the stories I’ve heard it sounds like when the Gen 1 engines blew it was often in a catastrophic fashion that blew apart the clutch and cracked the trans bell housings, thus requiring replacement.
You are correct sirWasn't that the flywheel going and in the same instance grenading the engine and the transmission?
