680whp FSDE

Greetings from ProbeTalk.com. There is no 6 speed transmission for the Probe/MX6. We're 5 speed just like you guys. We also are running into issues with the transmission. Some members crack the case, so we have developed a bracket to help strengthen the case near the rear motor mount. In addition, we constantly round off 3rd gear. Currently GTX gears are our most cost effective alternative. Sorry to resurect a somewhat old thread. Those are great numbers for an FS, quite the insperation to FS powered Probes/MX6s/Proteges. (cool)

Long shot, but what is this bracket you speak of?

Ive seen quite a few of them weld on the "gusset" onto the earlier G series transmissions. The cases on the older ones weren't as reinforced as the case found on your protege, which would lead to alot more flexing under load, so tuners would often weld in stronger corner braces to mimic the ones found on later G-series transmissions.

Thank you Stealth, and Maxx for the quick responses! Didn't mean to thread jack.
