So... Who decided to do a burnout today on New Year's Eve?

[dsm_ribbitpoison]

Because I did (alongside with a family member)... we broke the transmission on my RS. .

Oh well, it was in good fun. They are quite pissed, however.

But we had fun.

That's what we do over at my road. We always do burnout as a religion on New Year's Eve.

Mainly fun stuff. The transmission was starting to break anyway.

Whats so fun about a burnout??? I try everything to avoid spinning my tires, meanwhile other people are still entertained by cheap parlor tricks like a burnout for some reason, go watch some top fuel cars, you might then get a new interest in what a car is actually capable of is my suggestion, it will also be cheaper on the budget.

Hey, if burnouts are your thing, that’s awesome! Sorry about your transmission though I don’t really have any traditions, I just kinda do whatever, then go to sleep when I normally do, wake up just before midnight, do the countdown, then go back to bed haha not super exciting I know, but at least this year I stayed up with some friends!

On a different note, I can help you with fixing the transmission

I know how you feel. But we just try to have fun by ourselves, we usually enjoy doing burnouts on cheapo cars. It makes us laugh. It makes us happy. It makes us unite together as a family...

Well, at least in my household haha. Only me and my uncle are the only car nuts on the whole household.

Hey, that's alright! We usually do this for fun. Man, 2021 is looking bright so far since we are about to do a project for the Eclipse. We as in, my uncle and I.

My family member would rather get a whole new transmission , the diff popped out of nowhere so yeah... That's gonna be tough he knows a dude that has a spare 420a trans that he might want to get rid of. I'll update more.

Thank you all for the messages!

Hey, just an update... I got a picture of the transmission! Baha! I found the pieces that broke, and here's an image.

Yikes!! I would say a transmission replacement is necessary, correct?
I mean, rebuilding would be quite a time consuming thing...
*would probably waste some time*

Looks like you busted the case. Find a replacement and swap it

I'll try and see! Thanks!

And by case, you mean the transfer case or the transmission case? I'm not exactly perfect with English

(also, could that explain why the shifting was taking too long on the car? considering it is a manual after all...)

By case I mean the housing. There is a hole in it, correct? You don’t have a transfer case. Transfer case are on awd cars and they bolt up to the transmission sending power to the rear differential.

I see. Thank you!

P.S: That's a differential on the picture, right? The part in the middle?

Yes that is a part of it. It’s a spider gear

Got it, thanks! I'll try to keep y'all updated when I get the new transmission.

Damn! I've popped the clutch at 7200 rpm before and mine didn't break. That sucks man. But good luck on finding a replacement!

All good! I'm possibly having a new one from the US, however I found out the mount locations on the 420a DSMs and 4G63 DSMs are different (I thought they would be the same like the Mirages...), guess if I wanna do a 4G63 swap, I'm gonna have to use the Evo 8 4G63.

Right now, I'm restoring the car. I have a build thread, and I got a few new parts.

I recommend just getting another NVT-350. The 4g trans is way different, including input shaft.

I know, baha! I am having a new trans coming in soon for the 420a, I mentioned of the 4G63 as I wanted to swap the motor :/
