schmuckingham Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I had an auto AWD 1G that never gave me problems. I did however buy it with an extremely blown motor so there was fixing involved. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/Schmuckingham/627_must7.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 The subys remind me of the old dsm's. Hell Dave rounded off third gear on his wrx just making pulls on the dyno, it made 300 horse LOL that's not the "good" trans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linn1647545492 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Which one breaks more when introduced to aftermarket parts? Round one.. DING!!!

Guest ihuntv8 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I know my camaro, broke the rear end 4 times, broke the tranny twice, and i was only running mid 11's. I broke three trannys, two axels in the Dsm, that ran high 10's... I call it a draw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLN SUX Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Stock for stock id say the F Body is built to handel a little more stress than the DSM. Properly modded, i belive they can both be built equaly stout, but i believe you may spend a bit more coin to get the DSM there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Duh!!! I started this thread to make fun of myself. Who else could break 3 transmissions in less than 6 months (2 of which were rated over 700rwhp)? Who else would have an issue with their car so wierd that there was no fix for it on LS1tech until Ray figured it out with a little bit of help from me? I looked on my vin and it proves that I have the only DSM-LS1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn1647545492 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Don't you mean yours and Brian's? Nope, my car has not been down since March and that was only because i put a new clutch in it. Before that was over a year ago in 8/06 when i broke the drive shaft and rearend.

projectxmatt Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 i dunno i haven't had 1 problem from my dsm minus stuff thats to be expected in a 16 year old car, brakes, suspension and steering rack. The engine which is still engine 1 for the car at 200K+ miles has ~150 compression across all 4 and it has seen many different setups from myself and previous owners the previous owner to me ran a FPRed at 25psi and this sucker is still running strong ahh the beauty of a well maintained car.

Drew2o2 Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 DSM because its older and the 4wd system isnt known for being robust although niether are 10 bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s13 Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 4wd? Whats wrong with the drivetrain? Transmissions are a little weak. The 4 bolt rear ends are nearly bulletproof. Now a 3 bolt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now a 3 bolt... Yea i was kinda thinking the same thing...but thats what happens when you get a Chrysler transmission .... The evo 3's that used a similar transmission but made by mitsu didn't have the problems that plague the dsm's over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 4wd? Whats wrong with the drivetrain? Transmissions are a little weak. The 4 bolt rear ends are nearly bulletproof. Now a 3 bolt... Seeing as most raced cars see 5-7 times the factory WHP output (most of which on a stock bottom end BTW) I would also say the driveline does quite well (if you know how to drive the car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
