Thats an example of my driving. Foot to the floor the whole time. Clutch pushed maybe 1/2 way down...hence the syncro snag on the 3/4 shift you can hear.
Sucks about the Getrag transmissions not being able to handle the abuse, they are similar to the one's used in the Supra's and those are damn tough.
Friend of mine has been into his twice; this last time, he had a friend that has access to a machine shop modify parts from the Supra transmission to work in the 5.0 transmission.
Now granted, he races the hell out of his car and his is a early 2011 model.

Damn that sucks man, ive heard the same about the k-series transmissions for hondas i hear most of the reason why the trans's get fucked is cause of the stock clutch. Just get a light *** twin and build it with some goodies. I really can't understand how those things are so weak, those 5.0s aren't really the torque-ist things out there.
They are made in china... I cant really even blame ford for using this transmission. Its a badass trans. It even costs quite a bit of money (more then a 6060magnum)... so its not even that they were being cheap. Unfortunately the fact that they were assembled in china is not working out (a short cut on getregs fault)

The zo6 is mine. It had a host of problems we found after this race. We're gonna re run it sometime soon and post the video. I was only able to turn it to 6000rpm so it was alot closer race than it should've been.
