I would be surprised. You must remember the old saying that "the chain is only as strong as its weakest link." I am proposing that the synchros would have broken long before the gears might.TurfBurn said:Is it at all a surprise that they are chewing through gears at 750 hp???
synchro doesn't bear the load during power application... so in theory the synchro should never see the 750... synchros' are purely there to make it so two different speed spinning shafts can get lined up... nothing else... so in other words synchros only break due to shifting that is not 100% correct... if you have no power being applied (which is what SHOULD be the case during a gear change) you'll never bother the synchro regardless of the power output capability of the engine.ddogg777 said:I would be surprised.
