Default wouldnt recommend speedtek transmission!!!

Just over a year ago and about 5k miles ago my tranny that was built by speedtek transmissions went out on me. they rebuild it and installed it. putting down 420rwhp and 441 rwtq. the tranny is rated at 750hp!!!! how the hell this can happen?? it started acting up about 1k miles ago. then finally went out on me sunday. Honest truth yes i do get on it but i dont abuse it. roads are too slick and tiny here in italy. NOT once i drag raced it! For the way i drive my car it should've lasted a lot longer. I had a a tranny built that was rated at 550hp and i really abused that tranny and it lasted me 2yrs! wouldnt recommend them. uggghhh!!

Off topic, but do you get a lot of crazy looks driving that thing in Italy?

also, x2 about shift pressures and other things in the tune. What broke on your tranny? Was it a hard part or did the clutches wear out?

i do get a lot of attention!!! a lot of them love it!!! im lucky my neighbors love it too. well most of them lol. i dont drive it everyday so once in awhile is ok i guess lol.

well for the longest the tranny couldnt shift from 3-4 gear when the pedal is on the floor. but when im cruising on the hi way they shift fine. weird
