I contacted Performance Autoworks about their upgrade options they have for the SRT4 transmission

They said they can do the same thing for the F35 transmission and they claim the upgrade can withstand 600 ftlbs of torque on the stage 3

They said prices would be the same too

I would be very carefull about transmission upgrades.
As you know, I purchased a Quaife dog gear kit from Autotech. I have over $7500 into it and it's a pile of broken pieces in a box. I have had to remove my engine 3 times because of it. Autotech started of with a good story, but so far yet to do or say anything of value. Quaife told me they dont even sell the kit I bought any more because of problems. Yet, Autotech had no problem telling me it was stronger than the OEM box and better for my application and taking my money.

I trashed the Quaife gears in one track day. Since i have put the OEM box back in, I have had 3 hard track days and it's like a swiss watch. No problems. So these aftermarket gearkit punters are full of sh1t half the time. Keep your OEM stuff till you bust it then move with caution.

I'm looking at options just because of your story.  There are cobalt guys that have 500hp cars with stock transmissions doing just fine so I wont be upgrading unless it breaks.  But I'm sharing the options as I come across them.  Good  luck with your transmission issues.
