[torpedan]

Tranny life is a direct result of driving style. Either that or you keep getting bad trannys.

edit:
Do you get a lot of wheel hop?
Has the Car been wreaked?
Does the car have custom motor mounts?

not wrecked ... did have a ton of wheel-hop then i took some air out of the tire and fixed that stock mounts

[torpedan]

Wheel hop will utterly destoruy a tranny in a very short amount of time. The G series take the blows better but even they can blow up quick.

well the tranny was in for 4months and blew 2 driverside axles on tranny side didnt think anything of it i had a warrnty on them so i didnt care but like i said on one time did i have wheel hop and that was in a burn out contest which i ended up winning after i took air out of the tire but thats the only time i recall being hard on the tranny but i took it out to today and sent it back to the shop and its sittin there waitin to be fixed and would mazdaspeed motor mounts help any?

[torpedan]

Motor mounts can affect how the load is placed on the tranny, as long as they are in relative decent shape they wont put unusual loads to cause the trans to sit at a unusual angle.

If they are a good tranny shop i would suggest asking them why it failed. They should be able to figure it out.

the G tranny being what a pro-lx tranny?
