New times with BR clutchless 4 speed
The video posted, as Mr Fred said, is from English. That trans will never work or hold up that they are using. I started with that one after we worked together on the project a bit. I actually sent them some of the hard parts we built for that trans to make it hold up better. There is nothing strong enough in that model trans for the EVO though, well not an EVO making any big power. On our dyno at about 450 whp we broke that case, pinion, ring gear among some other parts.
The trans we are using is a LOT heavier duty. The initial problem, as can be seen in this thread, was the case breaking and that was caused by what I'd consider a design flaw on Mitsubishi's part. We have fixed and addressed that. The input shafts breaking now is what I'd also consider a design flaw but it worked for the power level and such that the trans was meant for. The new input shafts are 300m and we've changed that flaw in them, I'd guess that after this it's going to be very reliable.

My DD is making 350 whp...so that should be sufficient? I don't plan on making any more than that. The other EVO, would be a different story. I plan on keeping the 5 spd. Just need an autotragic for the DD. If yes, then I need to source out one. Any recommendations? Maybe I should search or start another thread about this odd 5 spd auto setup that no one wants to do.
PS= Who cares if I convert to Auto on an EVO. Pu$$y(I get), yes, Lazy, yes, not cost effective, yes, but.....who cares. Why ask why, try bud dry. B!@#$'s!

Yes this trans is being used in the BadBish and has been for about 2 years now.
As for the 350 whp version of this trans, not happening from us. I will build them completely to hold as much power as we can build them to hold an nothing else. There is no 5 speed option for the trans, that is the JDM trans that was offered and we are not doing those.

The billet housing and the billet shafts are both at the machine shop being updated and built. As soon as they come back we will get the car put back together and then consider heading to a track somewhere with it. I'm really hoping this billet input shaft is the final piece of the puzzle.
I spoke with the CNC shop last week and the input shafts are about half done. They also have the housing there making few changes to the design, adding a few things and removing some weight. I'm hoping to take the car to T2K14 along with the GTR this year.

If you could put a ball park price...how much have you spent on this trans?
