well, i finally got my X1 cam and vig 3200 stall goin in!!! hopefully my stock tranny should be fine!! i hope!!! LOL!!

 

Cool man! It's gotta feel like a whole new animal!

g

 

My stock tranny (120k miles) lasted all of two weeks after headers and G5x3; it slips and tags the rev limiter at high RPM. I have a converter waiting to go in, but hoped it might last until the end of the semester if I kept the stock stall. I was wrong.

I can't complain too much, I am the third owner and bought the car off of this site, so I am sure the car has been through hell already.

Keep it cool and don't beat the car to death and it should last you long enough to build up some funds for a rebuild. I'd start saving now though.

 

wait your running a g5x3 with a stock stall

 

thats butt load of miles man!!

 

yeah G, i hope it holds up!! ill give u a shout and we can start talking bout a bullet proof stage 2!!

 

whens it gonna be done?

 

cammed and 3200 EDGE stall....tranny cooler and a vette servo..line pressure adjusted with the tune..thats it..holdin up just fine

 

sup griller!! i was hopin it would be done today.. but everything should be done and ready to be picked up tomorow afternoon..

 

no its not..im at 200xxx miles right now on the stock tranny with the above mods..no problems whatsoever

 

holy f*ck dude!! are you serious!! DAMN!!

 

Stock tranny here, my car only has 31k though.

 

yea you can say you are on the stock transmission but how many times have u rebuilt the stock transmission. maybe you drive it easy and go 100 miles per day to work...

 

The cam and headers have only been on the car a couple of thousand miles now; tranny has never been rebuilt, as far as I know. I think it began slipping before I had run a few tanks of gas through it. I ran the dogshit out of the car, before and after the cam.

Yeah, it's a little bizarre (car still has 2.73s too). The shift extension sucks and a stall would easily lop off some major ET, but when it's not at WOT, the drivability is actually pretty good. I spent quite a bit of time getting the idle and transition tuned, though.

I didn't choose to do it that way, but being a full-time engineering student kind of got in the way of the mod money flowing in.

 

when I say stock I mean stock...the motor was just rebuilt after spinning a bearing..355 stalled and cammed..and no I have a daily driver for work...all the toy sees is the gas pedal...but seriously I drive the car for what I built it for with no problems from the tranny whatsoever..it sees an average amount of being "DRIVEN" I know the tranny is stock cause only one guy owned it before me...the motor let go at 195k miles and we rebuilt it from there...stalled it and cammed it at that point..talk as you wish...Im being honest

 

yep and before the motor rebuild she would spin the hell out of second gear and chirp third on WOT..needless to say she doesnt do that anymore with the stall..but its all stock..the tranny fluid hadnt even been changed for quite some time until i bought it...the motor was taken care of but with 198k on an lt1 it was bound to let go sometime..so we rebuilt everything

 

tr230 + pt4000 and i beat mine up. It has been fine for years.

 

well I'm running heads ,cam,stall and gas with stock tranny @ 12 bolt

 

my stock tranny with heads cam and converter lasted longer than 2 trannys from a known sponser be carefull who you buy from

 

At 77k miles I put LT's, ORY, catback, lid, filter, cai, and a 4K stall tci w/ a tranny cooler inline of the factory set up. DD the car for 2 1/2-3 years. Parked her to do my build at 89K w/o any problems. I didn't always get on it, but I didn't alway baby her eighter and occasionally manually shifted it. I think it's just luck of the draw. Might last you awhile might not, but it doesn't hurt to try.
