Spool Performance 8hp5x stage 2 transmission kits

[Mpower3jz]

Thanks @Supraman40 for helping with xhp settings!

This kit was surprisingly easy to install. I finished my 500 mi break-in and have done a good 15+ rolls in Mexico with no issues. Before the install I was experiencing horrible slippage in 6th gear but all is well now.

Not sure why some people speak negatively about Spool on here but I've had nothing but a great experience with them. They answered emails promptly and their YouTube install video was very helpful. I'm completely satisfied thus far with their trans kit.

The only company I've had issues with is DAW. The owner is a real piece of work. I'll be riping the ultra flow R off and going top mount soon.

In this stage of my spool transmission upgrade experience I would highly recommend anyone interested to go ahead and do it. I'll report back after I install a 6870.

Yes on their website, 1000 ft-lb.

alum is a bad choice for the hubs but i know why they do it. the stainless ones jakes makes are way better because the hub end acts as the first steel and you end up with room for a whole extra clutch/steel. Looks like a decent kit at its price point at any rate

I’m not bashing spool at all but I would go with a company that has proven itself and cost the same below is a whole series on removing and building the transmission using ATS kit.
