LSXcalade Transmission Ultimate Destruction + Biggest Upgrade!
What happens here
After the initial transmission removal, the damaged unit is sent to Extreme Automatics (also referred to as 'Triple 7' in the video) for analysis and repair. One month later, the speaker receives the actual blown-up components back. He visually inspects the damaged planetary gear set, noting the ripped teeth and the heat-induced blue discoloration, which confirms excessive thrust loading and failure of the stock gears. He explains that new billet, straight-cut planetary gears are needed to withstand the increased power of his setup. These upgraded components are designed to prevent future failures by eliminating thrust loading issues common with helical gears under high stress.
Goal: Identify the specific cause of transmission failure and procure stronger, replacement components.
