eddieo818 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 okay just wondering how many of you supercharged guys have blown your tranny and how many miles did the tranny last after it was supercharged? how many trannys have you killed?

SSThunder Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I've got a few 1,000 miles on my trans so far with the radix and so far so good(knock on wood). I just switch to the 3.0 pulley a few weeks ago and it seems to be fine. My trans has a zippy shift kit/servos, TBTC and tuned by zippy. I was told that any pulley smaller than a 3.0 would be bad for my trans. I've put the trans through 14 or so track runs so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.justin. Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 66K miles or so on the truck now, 40K with the Radix... Still on my first transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 60-something K miles, all but the first 2,500 have been supercharged. Still on the original transmission. I think where people run into problems is when they start reducing the Torque Managment on the 'puter. I did manage to toast my cats, though, due to an over rich "pre-CARB" certification tune I was unwittingly running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't drive it like a all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show Time Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 31,000 miles on the original tranny......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 ive put about 10 k on mine with the blower and these have been very hard miles , the trans looked great when we tore it down just the converter failed. i think i could have gootten quite a bit more mileage out of it. the tc should never be overlooked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put on 10K supercharged miles and dozens of Dyno pulls and track runs. This was a stock tranny with only a 3000 stall converter and boosted line pressure. I took it out and installed a fully built 65E with a less than robust torque converter. Within 2k, the TC exploded and took out the tranny with it. I have since went with a top of the line TC and every high end part you can throw at a 65E. So far so good. I don't beat on her when I take it out for a drive but when I go to the track, I always expect it to snap so when it doesn't, I can still smile.

How many full throttle 1-2 shifts have you made with the SC. This is where I worry the most. Also, are you running the tune that came with the Magnacharger, or is it custom? I want to be like you when my truck grows up Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
