if you go to the end, it all looks a little promising. i was curious if any of you guys had the whole "clunk" on the 1-2 or 2-3 shift.

anyways, thought you stang guys would wanna see this stuff.

It seems there are more people without problems than with. It is more likely that they are beating the crap out of the trannies, or shifting improperly.

Three friends of mine with TKO's to say when more than 450hp is applied to a tremic they have 3rd gear problems.

Three broken trannies and they are all running C4's now.

My Tremec has no problem with well over 450 hp, and it isn't even a TKO. We are talking about 3650s though, which is a totally different tranny.

C4s suck.

Kurt

[Luke01GT]

Mine has always shifted hard into second

[Cheesesteak]

yea i just spotted that thread and figured i'd share with ya'll.

mine kinda clunks a little, but to be honest with you, i think it's supposed to. it does sound like a few of the 3650's are lemons or something...

my T56 is working just fine. Powershift after powershift its held up.

If you click here, u can see what the TR3650 uses. I use Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF in mine.

Also, if you go to the tremec website, you can dowload the service manual for that tranny, and it will say the same thing as the link I provided above.

[HORSEpower]

Thanks Tim, good info.

Your well over 450hp is only when u spray it and u only spray it once every year. Rather than that 370hp NA is ok for ur tranny to stay alive.

[HORSEpower]

What's your point Eddie. The point is that the tranny resists a given amount of torque applied. Whether it takes it once a year or every day doesn't matter. The major factor is the resistance. I am running slicks and launching hard. My car on motor and slicks is a lot more load on the tranny then your car all out on drag radials.

Kurt

My point is its gonna give up if u keep doing it. Just like a 10 bolt that can run slicks for once, twice or even 5 times, but eventually its gonna give up. Every car is got a week link somewhere, and u refuse to believe that ur car is like any other car. U just like to find out the hard way :D

[Ponyperformance6]

I would be willing to bet that your tranny will give up the ghost long before Kurt's will. The 3550 is a race tranny plain and simple it is built for drag racing and is very tough. The T56 is built for street driving in the sense that it has to be smooth and also strong to handle the f-body/vette but not necesarily much over that. Personally I am convinced that a 5-speed is a better drag race tranny than a 6-speed for several reasons, and the durability of Kurt's is a good example.

[LethalBird]

I really don't wanna get in a "I have better" comepetition. But a little info for u Will in case ur wondering. I rebuilt my tranny with a Viper T-56 parts all by D&D performance. I'll put it against Kurt's junk any day, not to mention that T-56 along with TH-400 is the best trannys out there no questions about it. I really don't know how did u come to the conclusion that my tranny will give up before Kurt's or even give up in the first place. What u are trying to argue is just gonna make u look stupid? :confused:
T-56 is set to take 500hp in showroom form working only at 80% capacity, the reason why Vipers and 03 Cobras have T-56.

Plus we are not talking about my tranny here, so lets stay focus on the subject.

Eddie,

A Tremec 3550 is a race tranny, a T-56 is a street tranny. The gears and stuff in my tranny are beafy than in yours. If you look at the cut aways of the two trannies at a show, you will see the difference. A T-56 is no match for a T-3550.

Here is something about flying for you... the concorde on take off power with all for afterburners lit, burns 180,000 lbs. of fuel per hour. Consider that for a moment. :bowdown: Concorde ..... too bad its gone now. :cry:

Will

[Luke01GT]

The Concorde was neat, but economically it was a failure

[Ponyperformance6]

tru

[jeremy]

At full throttle my Jeep burns 240lbs of fuel per hour. Or, I should say it would if the tank was big enough to hold 240 lbs of fuel. It also sucks through 42,000 cubic feet of air in an hour.

So when you look at it from a distance....the concorde only burns 750 times as much fuel as my jeep....and further, when you concider it has 4 engines and I only have one, it only burns 187.5 times as much fuel per hour then my jeep does.

The concord cant rock crawl. but the jeep can do mach 2, you just need more power.
