there Matt.. That was adjusted over 5 races, so the number is actually $1000 which should be a reasonable average if you consider a $500-700 transaxle from a wreck plus 2-3 hour installation... no?

OK, guess I read that wrong. Thought I was the only one paying to much for them. $500-700 is what I see them for also. Install costs for me are cheap, so your math doesn't work for me, but I understand where your coming from.

So is the consensus that SPBs need a transmission replacement every 5 race weekends (10hrs?) on average? Still can't wrap my head around this.

Quite unexpectedly: Poetry and poetic license abound in the SPB subform.
Whod'a thunk it?
Carry on gentlemen.

Nope. I hate to jinx myself but mine is at about 40 weekends.
