Like the title says. What is the stock tranny capable of? Has anyone blown a stock 5spd yet? What horsepower range are they good to etc?

no one has realy broken them yet but axles well they break realy easy lol


but if you in the n/a section just get a better clutch and your good to go

really? I thought the axles were strong. O well thats not too bad tranny is obviously a bigger deal. The reason I was concerned is becuase of the price tag of tranny replacement. As far as I know there are not too many available in junk yards and the camry tranny is not the same (correct me if Im wrong) and a new one...yikes

I wouldn't say the axles are weak. The only time I heard of them breaking is with alot more power (turbo) in combination with a strong clutch and drag slicks. If you think about it, any car with that setup has a good chance of snapping axles. I've seen tons of sports cars with much stronger drivetrains snapping axles/gears at the track. When you merge high torque engines with strong traction, things are bound to break.

The tranny would be the last thing i would worry about. The Nitto tC puts down 500+ and all they did was upgrade the clutch. Also a friend of mine runs a drag tire setup with his scionspeed stage 3 kti almost every weekend at the track and has yet not had problems
