Transmission #1 and 2 have gone in the trash. Apparently the little Toyota G52 can't handle this much torque of a 27psi TDI.

I found my 3rd transmission of the summer for $250. A Toyota W58 from a 80's supra, I used the bell housing from the G52 cut the shifter hole a little and moved the trans crossmember back an inch. The sports car trans is geared quite a bit higher then the truck trans but it will have to do. I hope the W58 stays together better then the G52's did. I've put 100km on the W58 so far and 5th gear is noticeably taller.
