No it's the same ...

 

See, that's what I thought. So then why would it not hold up to the VQ35?

I hate when people make uneducated assumptions and spread misinformation...

 

I thought it was known that the VQ35 auto trans was a little more stout than the VQ30 trans. Japmax had his 3.0 auto last about three days on his new VQ35.

Even if you can prove they have the same stall speed is evidence enough that there is a difference, even if it's only in the torque converter.

 

They have different stall speeds and the 3.5 is known to be slightly beefed up, but the ratios are the same for all 00-03, and I'm guessing all 04+ 4 speeds autos.

I still would thing the 5 speed automatic would have been worlds better had it been fitted in 02+ Maximas.

japan max was mean to his tranny though.

 

And I wonder why no one is willing to install one.

 

Is it even really worth the trouble?

 

Who knows.

 

Does anyone know what has failed in Japmax autotranny? As far as I know the hybrid will have only 15-20 hp more than normal vq30, will that make such a difference???

 

The hybrid is a torque monster though.

 

Then how are there boosted guys running even more power than the 3.5 is putting out without destroying their trannies?

 

The VQ35 has the torque on tap like a free flowing bar ...

 

Actually they do kill them all the time. You just don't hear about it as much.

 

Well by-golly

 

Or maybe Japmax's tranny had 120K+ miles on it?
