[S/S Dodge]

anyone know what these parts are from?

 

[Goehner]

Guessing an SE tranny....lol

 

[DGibson]

that dont look good at all.

 

[Wrex]

That is a gruesome sight to behold there my friend...

 

[clinton92000]

errrrgh oh no

 

[MaJoR LeAgUe InFiDeL]

where did you get them from, looks like a demolished bearing or end of some sort of input/output shaft.

 

[supbird131]

looks like the remains of a six speed gear box

 

[MaJoR LeAgUe InFiDeL]

a syncro? def could be that too

 

[rubbel]

A very old Turbonator gasket?

 

[jarheadfor4]

I am guessing those are bullet fragments pulled from the remains of someone who touched your Challenger.

 

[DGibson]

probably what is left over from that tranny change he just did.

 

[eecom]

Judging from the bronze color my guess is syncro teeth.

 

[S/S Dodge]

every tooth on every gear broke off.

 

[Serge A. Storms]

Aaaggghhh!!!

 

[zebignats]

Ouch!

Let me get this straight...warranty claim? "honestly, as I reached the posted speed coming up the on-ramp the dang thing went KA-BOOM" I feel for you, man! Zeb

 

[itzrick]

Looks like an expensive weekend project.

Feeling sorry for your tranny. Now you should install a NAG1.

 

[shok]

any idea what caused that apart from the general "it was the shift kit"?

She's onto a good point - obviously a 42RLE tranny is best left in its stock config. The W5A580 has much more torque capacity and since it bolted right up the the late '09 and up SEs with 3.5s, would be a relatively easy swap (with the appropriate TCM and PCM changes).

i would need a complete donor car to convert to the 5-speed trans.
would need to change:
transmission
torque converter
PCM
TCM
engine/trans wire harness
body wire harness
drive shaft
rear differential
shifter
then add the complete ESP/BAS/ABS system (that would need a wheel speed sensors, modules, etc...)

then comes all the programing issues. not worth it at this time. a good used trans can be had for $600. a few hours to install and i am back on the road.
