transmission and Jr

i know its been asked a million times but by what i got in my signature at 50000 miles . how well you think my tranny will hold up on level two 70hp with my smarty jr. provided i do no boosted launches . and im sure a 4x4 take off would be more stress than a two wheel drive one. what would you recomend to use the full ability of my Jr

I think it can hold up indefinately if you do proper maintenance, change your trans fluid and filter regularly (drop pan, change filter, refill, not flush).........and drive it sanely.

They can all fail, even on stock power. Or they can all run 300,000 miles. Luck of the draw to some degree.

But I think you are fine at your power level on a stock trans.

Well I have an 06 and I have been running my JR on the 40hp setting. My T/C is shot and the tranny is not looking good. (48re) Do not do it unless you build your driveline...

As Tex stated, I don't think 70hp is gonna hurt you if you have a well maintained rig and don't get crazy. And a little luck never hurt.
