Oh my god! My transmission is done..

[Zlatko]

Oh my god..i just came homme..it died in the neighbourhood...i literally PUSHED it onto my drive way..

I wasnt driving it hard at all..

I took off from a stop light in my neighbourhood...i just took it up to like 2500 RPM..and i just heard like a klunk of some sort..i tried to go into gear..nothing happened..i turned the car off..and coasted it..

WTF?!?

[TCMdocs944]

Now Zlat....are you really surprised?





You gotta pay if you wanna play

[Zlatko]

Ya man..TERRIBLE

how much is this gonna cost?

[TCMdocs944]

Expensive.

Not that I condone the street stuff that you get into but I do understand. The crowd that you are around can be a major influence.


If you decide to continue with your rebelious ways.....

Don't just fix it, it will break again.
Get the beefiest upgrades you can buy...look to the racing sites.

I am sure some of the guys on the board will give you tech help (even the ones you fight with ;-) )

Agreed

Doesn't matter on upgraded trannies either, just a waste of more money to repair/replace it.

Trannies break for 2 reasons only- poor upkeep and driver error. The trannies in all the 944 model cars need to be treated with finesse.

People seem to think that the quickest way to speed is in shifting. Not so. The smoother the shift the more accurate and time reducing it is. Slammin gears like a drag car will break the Porsche tranny in very short order. This is also a major reason for kittens getting killed! Over rev and miss or hurry the shift and lose timing in the pedal work.

This is 2000.00 worth of advice.......Be kind to your tranny!

944 trans and the 944S cams is notorious to break!

[TCMdocs944]

I personally don't see much of a point to shifting at redline. The powerband seems to rest very solidly between 3000-5000 rpms.

Go up just enough that it your next shift is in that zone and it should be faster than 'redline ing' right?

[ae1969]

Well you are in luck.... I have an NA tranny ready to go.....and lucky you I am on your side of the border.

At least the tranny is an easy swap. Let me know if you need it.....

Note the bold letters in the original post.
Once again Zlatko has shown us that he is boss...what fools we were to think he was nothing but a mechanical lightweight who made the idiotic decision of buying a 944 for straight line....err...."racing."

I'm joking
YOu're not dan brown, or leonardo Davinci..

[Z-man]

Nice, Zlatko. You gotta try something better, like:

IF you can read this, reply "Jabberwocky!"

[profssr2017]

A) It's too early for April Fool's jokes.

or

B) That must of been the "10th time and thunk" refered to in the video thread.

[TCMdocs944]

Yup, he got me.

No big deal though. I will just save my first post for when it really happens.

[Sabyre]

You should have gotten the "big push" into your driveway on video as well.

[bryanthompson]

the boy who cried wolf story comes to mind... It won't be so funny when you destroy it for real, zlat.

BTW, when you do sell your car for parts, i'm interested in passenger side tail light and antenna.

[Sabyre]

Now that I finally get it I revoke my original reply although it would be humorous to watch. I do like Z-Man's post and this is a reply to it.

[ae1969]

Jabberwakie!!!! I tell you.... thats all this is!!!!!!!!!!
