I think that a lot of the problems with Capaldi and Mumm blowing up trannies is in the fact that they are running racing clutches, solid motor mounts, and 300HP+ normally aspirated. Not to mention that they are probably running synchro-less and are shifting the daylights out of them under hard power. Lots of abuse.
With a turbo, the inherent lag in the system should help to dampen the power transfer through the tranny so that it doesn't stress the components nearly as much as a full racing setup would.
The synchros and differential gears are known weakness that need to be addressed, but has anyone actually stripped a halfshaft or gearset yet - other than Mumm or Capaldi?
