Has anyone ever destroyed a G transmission with a 1.6l engine?

Probably, but it's nearly impossible to compared to a BP.

You can is about forcing the trans to do something wrong hard or something right very very hard.

Yep, racing

Yes had wheel hop and shattered the spider gears.

Wheel hop is a trannies worst nightmare. The next worse thing is no fluid.

I completely agree, and thats why i cant believe mine still works. Stock transmission with 278k miles, i used to hop the wheels all the time racing people, especially at the track. I didnt know any better back then. Its been leaking fluid bad for 5 years or so, used to have to add fluid every month, now its every 2 weeks, ran it right out 3 times and 2 of those times i completely seized it, it spends more time half empty than all the way full. I quite often add over a litre... and i have taught 7 people to drive standard in it, all of whom ground gears. I tow with it... And it still shifts perfect in every gear after all that. I have another one thats going in this fall because i dont trust this one anymore, but its amazing what some transmissions will take and what others wont.

Has anyone ever blown up a 3-5th gear under boost

We all know the weak spots though. 4th, 5th gear, the plate that holds the gear sets. I'm just curious to know if this is a bp exclusive issue, or if b6t cars do it too.

What speed does 4th get you to and what rpm

Well since the transmissions are exactly the same yeah it happens to both. It's more common with a bp though.

On street tires I shift into 4th at 94mph at 7000. I think fourth is good till about 120ish but I have never seen a speedometer the top of 4th so I wouldn't know. Fastivab6t used to do top speed runs and I think has was tapped about 143pmh in 5th.

Fastivab6t did 163. 5th gear swap.
