Sorry for the revive but I think this bit will be a useful reference for the rare Evo 7.5 GT-A.
same but GTA inside wave spring much weaker and some other part need to be upgrade
i took many photo. Shared in evolutionnet.
overhauled it with airtrek auto box kits too..
the pic u can see why.. ah wah there oso know this..
The 7.5 wave spring is not MUCH WEAKER, its supposed to be stronger holding 272ps. In fact the gear box is unique to the Evo 7.5. The tiptronic mated with this car is based on Porsche's during its time and its quite strong for an autobox TBH (no need for any recall for this). It can hold fair enough of power around 330+ bhp (check link with sample build below). Its not really a glass trans if NOT trashed as a manual car.
Oh, and I think I know the guy who owns the pix you posted. And its not you...
GTA gearbox is the same as Airtrek's. So far almost 5 years now for me, my 2003 Airtrek is running strong without any gearbox problem. I have basic modifications like full exhaust, TD05 from Evo 7, FMIC (AIrtrek uses TMIC), cams etc etc.
No sir they're not the same. The gears themselves are actually different. We have stripped apart both gear boxes.
Similar engined and tranny car, I am using Airtrek Turbo with very little mods.
This has been the "assumption" by some (especially airtrek guys no offense). Its the same thing with the Murano having "similar" engine with a Z. :rolleyes: Some difference I can recall are gear box, internals like pistons, block, injectors, head, cams/valvesprings retainers, intake manifold, MAF, fuel pump, turbo...
Here's a link guys of a nice & clean Evo 7.5 build using STANDARD gear box -
