sadil340 - Don't mean to sound rude mate but sounds a little suspect those figures and story. Yes Mopar are usually strong, "best in the world" yadda yadda yadda...lol But power shifting 150,000 miles stock everything? Maybe you weren't shifting it correctly? I've seen transmissions (V8, Ford, Chev, Mopar) in pieces from a few seasons of track racing, the cars weren't super stockers, just mild/hot street cars. Even when power shifting properly it puts a strain on your components. Well, this is what I have see online, heard and talked about with other drivers.


Yea, nothing's that bulletproof! What I meant to say was that I occasionally powershifted during the first 150,000 miles. If I did it every shift not only would the car have broken but I would have ended up in jail!

:smilielol: Yupe, my fault mate, I should have guessed it was occasionally on the odd drives not every shift of that 150,000 miles!!!  :lol: LOL! Yupe, you sure would have been in a bum fest prison driving like that 24/7/365!
