Thread: 6sp swap

  1. #11
    I was wondering about that . I'm used to 70mph@2000rpm that's livable.. I do 200 miles a day almost for wk too . Is the 6speed that much better ?

    Also what is the limitations of factory parts.. Like when does center diff blow and half shafts start spitting up lol

    6 speed is about 1850 @ 60mph. 6 speed maybe 2200?

    Rear axles won't blow till after 6-700awhp. High strength ones are able to be purchased. Front axles won't break. 3rd member is indestructible.

    Transmission output shaft (input for transfer case) will snap/shear high hp. Strengthened replacement is available.

    6 speed transfer case helical will strip with high hp or lots of shock. Trans casings and TC casings can be either reinforced or replaced with stronger stainless parts.

    snapping parts also has to do with launching properly. you'll do it at lower HP levels if you aren't properly taking the slack out of the drivetrain before hammering it.
