How to destroy an MR 6-speed (video inside)
hey Blitz, after seeing the pictures the wheel hop for sure killed it but I think you got it backwards. I think the motor mount went first and since it failed it took the tranny out with it. How extensive is the damage to the motor mount?
You had way too much air in your tires that and the way you launched it were a cause of the demise it looks like.
Although your engine mount may have had something to do with it. Hard to tell at this point but with the transmission splitting in half it might have been the adding culprit.

Now I see that most the 6 speeds are killed not because of power but because of dragging and racing without cool down time. I did a search and found the thread I think Blitz started it in 08 and no one damaged it unless they did heavy track or sprit driving and lots of drag. This is not a weak 6 speed damage it was a horriable launch that killed it and not slipping it enough.

Its more then likely the Motor Mount check it and see if its bad, if so it allowed to much side to side and back and forth motion and up and down all at once to make it crack so basiclly it was a unsecured tranny.
My friends 04 cobra broke his rear diff, half shafts, and I believe even broke some lug nuts when he had really bad wheel hop. He had to pick his rear diff up off the track. So this definitely possible. Especially with a bad mount.
