Haven't heard of the actual gears breaking, even holding tremendous amounts of power.

The most common failures will be axles, then your differential. This is assuming your clutch and pressure plate can transmit that much force to the drivetrain.

they are very strong. If you go above 600whp then you need like a prodrive or quafe gear set. You do need to worrry about broken axles tho..

Yep, seen it first hand.....courtesy of Art and the JL team. After the axles are replaced, and the diff, and the clutch---then thats when you need to start worrying about the gearset. Well, not really some people have all that------ok after 600 hp or so. I dont think too many of the typical honda/acura lovers will see those numbers though.

thinking of buying one that appears (looking at clutch and press. plate) to be abused but only by 200hp or so
