Aveo 2.0L -- Blown tranny

[Nemasys]

Went to the 1/4 mile drags tonight, car was running very good running in the high 16's on my 3rd pass the tranny blew off the line. Too much torque for the little d16 to hold hahah

Whats even worse, my friend's mx3 klze turbo blew his engine too... 2 cars on 1 towing pretty funny.

what did you just post a couple of days ago about blowing trannys, that is some bad luck, too bad to hear

I'm so sorry to hear that happened. Any idea of the hp/tq you were putting down? We need all the info we can get!

I use to have an MX3, my first car infact. I kind of wish I had kept it at times, I know if I did it'd have a KLZE in it for sure . I didn't do it before because at the time the swap hadn't really been explored

What is the daewoo 6-speed, a d20? I think...swap that in there, it would definently hold up. Correction: It's an F40.

I honestly dont have a clue to the power i was putting down, but it was enough to blow the tranny lol, looks like the D16 isnt very strong, its also true that mine was pretty beat up, i put it thru alot of stress over the years and with the 3rd gear grinding all the time it was just a question of time until something broke. Funny thing is the tranny has been working so well for the past week or 2, 3rd gear was perfect nothing was grinding.

The way the car launched on that 3rd pass, when the tires gripped the tranny just couldn't hold the torque and snapped.

Correction again, its the F28 that you can find in the Opel Calibra AWD. You need to import it from europe, convert it to FWD, then it installs fairly easily with a custom mount. The F40's bell housing is completely different, wont bolt up to the 1.6 or 2.0.

Im gonna chek for a D20 tranny (the stock tranny from the Optra/Forenza) Its alot stronger then the D16. If it installs easily without any work ill buy that one, else another D16 will go in.

damn. but sounds like you expected it.

might not have just been the hp though sounds like too much stress on worn parts. hp typically blows first gear or the diff or an axle right off the line, and you know it.

what track did that happen at?

[ontarian_frog]

Now we know why they had two versions of the same transmission. Hopefully the D20 is exactly the same...a little bit stronger though mind you! lol

A local 1/4 mile strip about 35 mins from my place

Well ive had so much trouble with the tranny since i bought the car and i kinda put it thru hell with the power shifts and forcing 3rd gear grinding. At some point i remember having problems downshifting into 2nd gear

Yeah im not surprised the tranny blew, it will come back with a stronger one!

well at least it wasnt a good tranny that went
