another blown 2nd gear thread
I´m pretty sure the housing is weak as well, a week before my tranny blew I had gear noise and my tuner said it sounded like the gears were separated.
The gears only touch each other tip to tip when this happens and get a lot weaker.
I´ve seen people machine plates to mount outside the gearbox to stop the housing from flexing but again, not worth it in this case.
This gearbox can be compared to a motorcycle gearbox with thin and fast shifting gears but not really ready for the torque we throw at them.

I was just curious of this crazy idea I had. What about cryo treating the ap2 transmission, all the moving parts and gears. Wouldnt that make the transmission significantly stronger?
What's the max torque that the ap2 tranny can take??
I'm thinking about getting a kraftwerks high boost kit and just want to cover all bases.. I didn't know people were killing second gear until 5 minutes ago..
It seems like only the turbo guys are blowing them up, so it must be the torque or much higher hp..
