check300,

there you go. you should be able to figure out the problem with what check said.


bottom line is your boat is to heavey. you are pushing to much weight. a 24 eliminater cat wieghs a 1/4 of a 30 sonic. do all you want. you will always blow drives. all the money you spent on drives could of gone to a set of speedmaster threea's. and you would of still had some money in the bank. and if you don't want the transmision then use a crash box.

Carreraboat:

A crashbox is a type of tranmission that is unable to shift under power, i.e. the engine must be shut off when shifting. A crashbox is simpler and stronger than a "normal" transmission.

thanks vtec but why the name

My personal opinion why its called a crashbox.....cause when you are comming up to the dock and you can't get the dang thing into the gear you need ......well the rest is self explanitory. You see .....these are not the most user friendly of trannys.
