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.

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.

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
