I didnt see an MR SST Transmission FAQ anywhere in the drivetrain forums, so I decided to write one; I did a cursory search online, and in the forums, gleaning the following.
Questions:
1) Which is generally more reliable, SST or manual? Manual
2) Are SST Trani's "finicky"? yes, they can be. Care and feeding of this complex transmission is paramount to its' proper performance.
3) I plan to do track day's with my MR, what shall I do? Spend 5K to make it reliable or plan to deal with some of its issues.
4) How much HP can the stock SST handle: 320-340 WHP
5) Are SST trani's safe for light mods and street "fun": yes
Please correct if not accurate, and I'll edit this post. If you have any other good suggestions for "Q and A", please provide. I'll add it.
FYI, I'm buying an Evo X and realized, though its nice tech, SST isn't ready for the abuse and $$ I plan to give it. If that's all wrong, please elaborate.
Thanks,
