In an MX3, I've put up to 400whp thru one on poly filled mounts and I drag race the crap out of mine at the track. Typically I race in the neighborhood of 340whp these days. Never broken a tranny.
One key to your tranny lasting seems to be the clutch setup. I run an unsprung ACT 6 puck with a stock pressure plate. Had the same one in there for 5 years now. I think it's made of magic beans.
In the probe/mx6 chassis, we broke a tranny on Saturday in a matter of 50ft on the same power level I run at.92 MX3 Turbo ($100 junkyard KLG4) 11.904 @ 124.3mph, 14psi, DOT approved Hoosier drags, pump gas.

One of the probetalk guys put down 398whp. And was constantly dynoing it and did like 40 runs at the track. after months of abuse, the motor failed before the trans.~PaTricK~

the stock diff is the first thing to worry about. i'd recommend an MFactory LSD.
the second thing is 3rd gear, thats what blew on mine, since i had a quaife in there.Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft. Lbs. @ 23 PSI

depending on my time frame for assembling mine, weld the diff pin on my mx3 trans prior to install. but otherwise i think it will hld my power goal of 200-250whp."Discontent is the first necessity of progress."

yep and they are all essentially the same aside from a few different gear ratios here and there. none are significantly stronger than any other.Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft. Lbs. @ 23 PSI
