20,000 MILES ON THE VIG 2800 trans shifting ok!

 

im planning on a 3200 stall. my car never sees the track, burnouts, or manual shifting. i drive it like an old lady..lol. except after coming off turns then ill somewhat gun it. so i hope my tranny holds up. cuz after im done doing all my mods and all, i plan on just storing the car.

 

well i don't abuse my car in any sense, its my girlfriend, so i treat it right and every once in awhile take it for a ride but everywhere i turn im hearing that peopl burn up their clutches and such after hardly any time

 

150k on my car with the stock TC and tranny with only a few transmission mounts in damage. Shifts like brand new.

 

i have a similar ? what about my friend just installs a shift kit & trans cooler will that hurt the life of the trans? he cant afford a converter and wants to go ahead with the kit so he's wondering...

 

im looking 4 a new shifter 4 my car its an a4

 

is this a community thread or something?? lol

 

sorry i just saw the thread and thought since alot of people replied and all it would be a good place to post mine... can we share haha?

 

i was more talking about the guy asking about the shifter lol, but yea we can share, for your question a trans cooler and shift kit will HELP the tranny life not hurt it at all...

 

but from what i understand by what people have said a converter will hurt it over time?

 

supposable with a tranny cooler it shouldn't beany harder on the tranny, however that is hard to believe, but that didnt sway me fro getting mine

 

I have 142000 on mine, stock tranny with a stall and cooler. I have no idea if it is stock though since i've only had the car about 3 years but it was bone stock and it was a lady doctor that owned it. I beat on it regularly and spray nitrous occasionally through it. I've yet to have any problems.

 

i put my cam and converter in at the same time at about 60k. tranny lasted 2 weeks, it may have been on its way out anyway though.

 

i went through 2 in 4 months. the car had 88,000 miles. when i bought it though. oh, it was bone stock.....

 

bahhh well i think mine is going out any ways..... i know it had a beefy shift kit but other than that the car was stock when i got it.... it has 273 gears it used to roll them on the 1 2 shift now it dosent and there is a clicking coming from the bell housing also... i think the front pump is going out or the tc... so imma buy a new tranny and i was looking into a tc but i dont want to trash my new tranny ohhh the worries.... but it takes $$$$$$$$$$$ to play i guess

 

i have heard that a cam can hrut your tranny alot more and alot quicker than the stall. supposably the cam revs it higher which makes it go out sooner

 

My tranny lasted for 160,xxx till i put in a Yank converter in it.

 

I have a 2000 Trans Am and mine crapped out right at 61000 miles and apx 10,000 of them miles was with a 3500 Art Carr stall. I toasted the 3rd and 4th clutch packs

 

The added power would more likely kill the tranny more so than RPM's

 

57K on it with a cam and Vig3600
