:eek2: is right. I saw that on another board. Does anyone know what trans was in it. Someone said T400 and another said 4L60E. Why on earth would you put a 4L60E in something like that. :bang: :D

A little JB weld and shes good as new.

Because of the AWD compatability I would guess.

Yowzers :eek:

If you're gonna spend all that money putting a completely different trans in a 4L80E woulda been my choice! :D

I think a 200r4 would be even better.

I read it was a TH400 on the srt8 forums or wherever the build thread was; don't remember now.

Oh, and here's the original thread:

Well definately.

According to a Thread the owner had created here, It was a Mercedes transmission.

We used Renntech since it is a Mercedes transmission. Nobody knows what they will handle so we will find out. Crossing our fingers it will stay put

he should have crossed them a little tighter!!!

i dont know why you would take all that risk with a trans you dont know about after you spent all that money on a solid setup. wonder what he is going with now?

i thought i saw on one of the sites that he bought another 07 Cherokee and gutted the old one that had the mishap.
Engine was goin to be checked and then they are goin to start over with the new Jeep...

new one is twin turbo... i thinks its getting built as we type. not positive though.. on one of the sites he has it in his sig.

Lets set aside the fact that this tranny in the JGC expoloded.....my question is why if you had your choice would you use a 4l60E......what an idiot. I know if I had the choice there is no chance I would use a 60e... mine blew up on a stock truck @ 28k LOL. Expecting a 60e to hold any power LOLOLOLOL

From what I can tell that is a bad rumor. I seem to recall it being a Mercedes designed trans. Possibly the stock style trans in those grand cherokees?

Correct. See post 12

Yeah, what he said.:jest:

Rumors Rumors Rumors.. The truck had a Renntech Nag1 (mercedes trans thats in all SRT8's) transmission in it at the beginning of the build and that didn't last long so a few different prototype Nag1's were tested with not good results. The trans that was then ordered was a BUILT 4L85 with hummer transfercase. That is th setup that granaded . There was never a 400, 200, 4L60 or anything else. It had a few Nag1's then the 4L85E. Any other questions?

whats up with the broken looking wrench in the door panel?

I am guessing it is an adjustable wrench he had in the door before the tranny exploded.

Any other questions?
Yeah. Why wasn't there a scatter sheild of some sort on it? By looking at that setup from the vid/pics, it's got to be running some quick times with an awesome 60ft. So why wouldn't your track make put on an ultra-bell housing or a scattershield/blanket or something SFI approved? Whom ever was in the driver's seat is lucky they still have thier feet attached.

oh my fucking god, that's nuts.

The owner of the vehicle had the trans blanket in the trailer instead of on the trans where it should have been and he took responsibility for that mistake. The lucky part is not the driver, its the select few people that could have been in the passenger seat. Lucky day for sure.

I'm not sure on that as I was not there that day. Not my wrench though

somehow it all gets blamed on GM, my bet is the trans was not properly setup for the vehicle. gm tends to underrate their vehicles power #s so im sure they wouldnt slap 1200HP on the trans and not have good reason. money cant buy brains!

The owner must have been heartbroken...I am and it's not even my vehicle. Those SRT8 are sweet rides.
