i remember you calling me about my old clutch form my blown w58
i told you that damn thing would crap out on you lol
im surprised it lasted that long
get mc r154, strong single disc clucth, some extra hands to help, and some cold beer and stop worrying about a tranny
as thats what i did

I wouldnt say it was "built" (back in the 90's) to handle over 800whp power without any major hiccups. I am sure Getrag, in their right mind, didn't expect these transmission to be pushed that hard. But I could be wrong.

Is it tranny or rear end you said you changed rear end could be rear end winding. Was torsen put into the rear end was it set up properly .. gears could be making the winding noise

one of my friends went through two R154's in his supra with 300 RWHP, and two other friends go through R154's with less then 400 rwhp..
I wouldn't pay alot more for a R154, but if it was slightly more then a W58 i guess i would get it.. I just thing the 1st gear failure is so common in them they aren't worth paying double the price of a w58 for.
