You guys are true warriors in the GR community. I'm learning from everything you guys break lmao

[@NemtecRacing]

"take one for the team" is what we live by lol

[@alberttsai3659]

@@NemtecRacing Hope you guys keep breaking stuff, so we can keep learning 🤣

[@KN-jw7ts]

Getting better on camera every episode. Natural and authentic. Good on you.

[@NemtecRacing]

Appreciate it! it'll come with time

[@ericvermeulen9853]

Mine was jumping out of 2nd gear , got it fixed , Toyota paid all costs luckily and fitted the updated input shaft

[@nicrandazzo758]

It'd be very interesting to do full bolt on & tune build with your mom's car for everyone who isn't do as crazy of a build!

[@mengx94]

Will still break

[@charliek6371]

I love this guy. I havent pulled the gun on any aftermarket parts on my grc yet thank you nemtec

[@hxllxman]

I don't even own a Yaris/Corolla GR ( for now😅) but very interesting video! Lot of informations😊.

[@PaintflowException]

Thanks for sharing this info!!

[@MistaIntake]

Any update to the trans for the 2024 model year? Or does this issue carry over to those as well

[@BigFrawgReviews]

I have a 24 core completely stock but I haven't had any issues with any gears yet with just shy of 3k miles

[@raymondfrank9202]

good one

[@code3xiv]

Thank god i bought fiesta.

[@qdmax11]

👀

[@jasondoulkeridis6202]

I never thought to take the bloody pin out of the selector! Today I learned. Thank you!

[@andrewmerrick601]

I love yall man, super informative, best GRC info I have found. Whenever I make the good money I'll definitely visit yall sometime and chose you for any mods I cannot take upon myself. Cannot wait to see that thing hit the course!

[@NemtecRacing]

Appreciate the words and the support my guy!!!

[@tempeztad]

That transmission looks very fragile... Thanks for sharing

[@JK-tu1xx]

That actually explains why 5th gear feels so strange to shift into. I've never mis-shifted my car, never done anything that would damage the transmission, and yet.. The 5th gear shift always feels kind of like I'm shifting through a wet bundle of twigs lol. (Also, entirely stock, just an aftermarket shift knob and drop in filter.)

[@NemtecRacing]

Yeah definitely not the greatest design from the factory

[@SoFarFromCrust]

This reminds me of my 18 gti. Burned synchros like crazy. I love my grc, but I'm not thrilled about having a glass cannon transmission again, especially if it grenades while the car is stock (wife's ultimatum she's tired of me being a gearhead with all of our dailies)

[@GR_Papi]

I just got me a Gr Corolla it’s night and day compared to my VB WRX but pretty on par with my 07 sti. In my opinion

[@NemtecRacing]

Well the GD sti platform is the greatest chassis ever so that good words to hear

[@joshuahenry7482]

Bummer these transmissions dont live up to the legacy that was the Celica GT4. Those transmissions were obscenely strong. Also wish it has real AWD...

[@NemtecRacing]

Yeah the real AWD this is the worst part of these cars

[@ericvermeulen9853]

Just a pity these transmission are so fragile compared to BMW ZF transmissions that can literally run more than double the power on stock transmissions

[@alberttsai3659]

According to Neat Gearboxes, the issue isn't just with the OEM hub. "The OEM material and design of the synchro and key groove are both causing issues. The only solution that we can come up with is to redesign the synchro assembly to prevent the accelerated wear from occurring. " Sam Charlick - Neat Gearboxes.

[@TheAnonomusGamers]

Cusco has a set of revised synchro hubs that are much better and can handle power from what I’ve seen. I think it’s ~$1k for the set of 3

[@markezinapr]

I have a 80 miles brand new transmission on my circuit for same issue stuck on 5th and 6th gear last month. Arroun 450whp

[@JerryNeutron]

And I thought us VB owners had it bad with the trans 🤯

[@SethKnows]

I just feel kind of a lot of whiplash with these cars. I just bought one, but wasnt planning to (since they're rare, marked up, and already expensive.) But once i drove it, i had to have it. Now, I'm sort of regretting it. Feels like you can't add 5 hp without something breaking. I just wanted to beef it up to 350 without basically buying a whole new car (rebuilding everything) Then i go to fb and reddit and everyone tells me it handles 350+ all day without replacing anything (save for the performance ones)

[@NemtecRacing]

Stock trans is funky that’s why the warranty is important until you know you don’t have a junk trans from the factory. After a few thousand miles I’d say you could start modifying it and 330 torque is the limit I’d say until the trans would have issues

[@justskidding5230]

Very interesting video, unfortunately I’ve been waiting for my car for a while and it’s good having this knowledge prior.

[@NemtecRacing]

Hopefully your car comes in soon.... thanks for watching the video! let us know if you got questions etc once it does come in.

[@flcl48]

The copium in this one lol

[@carlstrohm3785]

Serious question, how much is the transmission, and how much is the way you drive it? You could try cryogenic, micro shot blasting, coatings...idk. I'd love to see what could be done to stock vs just dumping nearly half the price of the car on a sequential. Mainly because I cant afford that 😢

[@NemtecRacing]

It’s the transmission. People have stock cars break the transmissions just regular driving…. The Cusco hubs will fix this problem at least

[@300zxdriver]

3 grand is not that bad to fix it.

[@NemtecRacing]

right, nothing crazy

[@SoFarFromCrust]

It is considering that apparently stock grc is breaking under normal driving and the car is 40k. For 40k this should not be an issue

[@300zxdriver]

@@SoFarFromCrust I hope it doesn’t break on stock car, I own one.

[@JorgeCabrera-zh7yr]

So many issues with these new gr's the reason why you don't see people like ekanoo racing documenting it is because they have unlimited funds and have changed literally everything 😂

[@NemtecRacing]

Thats what we are here for lol. My "unlimited funds" are running out if we gotta keep fixin this stuff lol! thanks for support!

[@DanielHernandezBC]

Great videos, but please invest in a camera stabilizer :) 🤮

[@DonsShed]

Thanks for the video :) It gives me a bit of a heads up on these cars, as I am considering either a GR Yaris or GR Corolla. Cheers Don, Perth WA (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)

[@NemtecRacing]

Appreciate the support!!!

[@8uckshot]

I'll be seeing y'all Saturday morning at 100aw!

[@NemtecRacing]

Our car broke early Friday…. I appreciate the support man it means a lot hopefully next year 100aw is better lol

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Brilliant!! Thank you, I am a GRY owner in the UK. I have also been speaking with Neal and he is a great guy!!

[@NemtecRacing]

Hell yeah bro. Tell Neal you watch the videos lol so he knows the gangs all here!!

[@thatGRprick]

Thank you for the sacrifice transmission.

[@l67swap1]

Thought about modding the car ... Watched a few videos... Nope its staying stock 😂

[@NemtecRacing]

Yeah definitely don’t give this shit away for free

[@pimpfolyfe312]

Cheaper to build a gtr trans 😅

[@quacko11]

Didnt lamspeed run low 10s on the stock trans though multiple times

[@NemtecRacing]

Yeah and we drive our car around for 2k miles before it broke. There’s no answer to when it breaks it’s more of a matter of time situation once you start pushing big power

[@deancane9298]

Wow how many shifts you guys miss to create such a mess?

[@NemtecRacing]

A lot lol…. Well a lot of second gear shifts. We never missed 5 th gear it just did that by its self

[@deancane9298]

@@NemtecRacing Some driving lessons in order?

[@Lilgamer1998]

First

[@NemtecRacing]

Money!

[@Greasenipple]

Just wondering, any estimate on how long the transmission will last with stock to 375hp, daily driving with some spirited driving sprinkled in?

[@NemtecRacing]

Few months
