High Revs Ahead: Transmission Strain Analysis

Safety Warning

Every transmission has a breaking point. We found it - so you don't have to.

The Experiment

We subjected a stock transmission to increasingly aggressive driving until catastrophic failure, documenting every step with strain gauges, thermal cameras, and audio analysis.

Warning Signs

  • Temperature thresholds and danger zones
  • Audible indicators of impending failure
  • Vibration patterns that predict problems
  • Fluid analysis between runs

The Aftermath

Full teardown and autopsy of the failed transmission, with detailed analysis of what failed first and why.

"Know your limits. Or let us find them for you."
