Stock transmissions strength?
I see a lot of people running some big shots of N02 but not much issues at all.
Is the stock transmission that strong?
At what point does it seem to have issues?
Kinda wanna spray 100-150 shot but dont wanna blow up the transmission haha

If you blow your tranny I'm sure there will be a few available at a very reasonable cost. Let me know if you want a spare.

I once boosted a semi-automatic, and i remembered it was common to have the tranny 'rebuilt' to handle more power.. Don't know if anyone has done that for the F.
The one rule i got from tuners, is to never gas it on automatic/Drive.

I don't think anybody has blown up an IS-F motor or transmission if I'm not mistaken...
I certify our drivetrain as "nuclear bomb-proof"

It was actually around $800 shipped if you gave the seller a "best offer".
Definitely a smokin" once in a lifetime deal for a brand new seeder transmission directly from Toyota.

One on this board did, JustFMe. Don't know what's the cause but so far that's the only documented one that I have seen.
