Tranny, Diff, Rear Axle good for how much power?
I guess this is directed at the FI guys. When have people started to experience failure or have observed their tranny, diff, rear axle feeling overwhelmed.
Want to know because it would be interesting to see at what power level a whole new investment is required.
Thanks.

I think 200 RWHP. The Comptech diff. has huge billet U clamps holding the gears in it. Work's good to keep the gears from getting shuved out the back under power.

I think a lot depends on your driving style. If you are dropping the clutch at 7k RPM and are speed shifting, you are stressing the drivetrain much more. The reason the S2K has a soft clutch is to let the clutch absorb that initial shock and not your transmission, gears, etc. Upgrade to a quick engaging clutch and you increase the stress exponentially on the rest of the drive train.

Thats my opinion. Think of the clutch as a safety fuse for your drivetrain. Of course if you are careful, you won't need that margin. I think the Honda engineers did it right!

Any tips for keeping the stock rear end alive (besides not raising the HP or dumping the clutch at high RPMs)?
