Over 700 by how much? 701 703? What I'm saying is that I have 700 RWTQ and mine has been fine. On street tires, it's hard to believe that you have a good transmission to start with especially when spinning tires.

Define rebuilt? A full rebuild or just misc parts?

Full rebuild by my buddy who's the head tech at toyota. All my car does through 4th gear is spin on street tires on the et. streets it still spun clean through second and apart of third but it didnt break.

So you broke it on street tires? Is this correct? This is what I'm not understanding. I just think it shouldn't as I have beat the hell out of mine for a while on this power level and on street tires, it's fine. Heck, slicks were fine for 650 RWTQ on slicks on old set-up.

You missed my question on "how much torque" ;)

LOL I'm not worried at all about numbers Sean :3d_frown: I'm saying torque is what breaks things which is why I asked how much torque. I didn't know you spoke for him too ;)

F&H, your so cool. :rofl:

It doesn't add up when you say you are breaking things on street tires. I have good power and mine hasn't broken, how hard is that to understand? that was all I was saying.

Bring your car to Vegas with a few R154's and I'll just bring one that's in my car :D

So do you think we're all lying there were 5 of us there who can back the story, It seems to me like you just have a hard time believing anyone but you can make power. I drove my car 2 hours to Orlando had it dyno tuned and then it broke thats it, it's pretty simple. I'm gonna let Sean speak for me since you seem to like it so much see you all in Vegas.

Have you tried putting in the marlin crawler billet steel bearing plate? After talking with them about building my trans they said that was the cause of the thrustwasher failures. Aparently the cast one wears and allows some flex which causes the extra load on the thrust washer.

I was actually looking into the whole marlin crawler thing to see what they thought and what they reccommend, and I wanted to see how much for one there beefiest transmissions.

Oh boy, here we go, where did I say I'm the only one that could make power? You just want to start a pissing match? LOL
I'm not saying that you are lying and in no way did I mean that. I have a hard time with you breaking something or in for lack of a better word in aw that you broke it on street tires. THAT seems hard to believe. That sound better? Man, you guys are hard to make understand. :3d_frown:

If you broke the thrush washer I would like to know what you are using also, in case mine does break ;)

Hey Victor, want to really get on Duane?? Tell us that you will fix your tranny trouble by going auto!:love:

Duane - I drive the r-154 pretty good myself, my white car is an factory auto now, so it will stay auto.

I can say, the stock bearing retainer DOES wear out. Mine shows signs of wear. Which is why the MC Bearing retainer is already sitting there, waiting to go in ;)

LOL, to be honest, if I had trouble with the transmission THAT much, I wouldn't keep it either :icon_razz Seriously, who wants to pull transmissions every other week? :aigo:
