We see this fairly often on high powered turbo cars. Our solution is straight cut 3rd and 4th gears. Way stronger than stock.

I blew out my third gear a couple years ago and until I fixed it I just skipped 3rd.

Ok... No power shifting in 3rd. Got it. Thanks for the test Powell! Couldn't you just let all that stuff rattle out the bottom of the pan and do a straight shift into 4th and see if it would take that kind of power and complete the test of all gears? Just kidding!

I haven't said much about this, other than to local friends. I wanted to keep it quiet till I got pictures of everything and knew exactly what broke. Only thing I really knew that was bad was third gear was non-existant, stuff was ratteling around in the transmission case, and that when I went to load it on the trailer (a week later) the shifter took a TON of force to put it in gear.

I'll talk to G-Box and see if they could do a little write up as to what exactly I broke. Other than the obvious LOL!!!

I know about miss shifts LOL Thank God I didnt break anything at the mile except my pride LOL. I am sorry for this misfortune but if you start having P withdrawls I can take you for a ride in bluey.

Good Luck

Wow, thats nuts. Sorry to see that. Is there a "best practice" method for launching and shifting gears on the 996tt?

one good thing about breaking parts..........

You get to buy better parts (and try to break them again and again and again).
