NOT CORRECT, READ WHAT'S FOLLOWS
Warranty Conditions.
Improper use of the transmission will invalidate the warranty. Track use, Dyno testing and road simulation are all improper uses of the transmission. Tampering with seals on the transmission will invalidate the warranty [/color][/b]
Use of the transmission for any purpose other than that indicated herein invalidates the warranty. For example, but not limited to this, if the vehicle is used for competition or in a circuit or on a test bench or with components capable to increase the spinning torque.
NOT TRUE!!!
Really Wanni,
If I understand and read your warranty terms correctly I must notify you of the power output of my engine and never use the vehicle in - competition,on a race track, on a rolling road dyno,or as any form of test mule- in order to comply with your terms & conditions. That pretty much rules out any warranty for a replica and ever using the car for any competitve use. Since all are a work in progress and have so many variables in there construction. Not picking on you alone, I would bet good money that most manufacturers warranties have similar clauses in them.

Dear Jac Mac,
when the project of a transaxle start, some specifications are identified as a target.
When I designed and calculated T 756, in 1999 the best street tires were reaching an adherence coefficient of 1,1. Today they easly reach 1,4.
In order to keep the weight of the transmission as low as possible, the gears are calculated to the adherence and not to the nominal torque.
Explanation: Let us take a Pagani Zonda as a reference car for the calculations.
Out of the wheel base, the position of the center of gravity and the tire adherence, you get out the transfer of weight to the rear axle. Out of it you know the maximum output torque before wheels spinning. Going backwards to the ratios, it will result that in 1st gear the car spinns with only 400 Nm, with 650 in second and the gearbox shall take the full torque from the 3rd to the 6th..
This means that the 1st gear is calculated for 400 Nm only or it would become the 1st gear of a LEOPARD.
1) If you go on a roll bench and brake the engine in 1st gear, the wheels wont spinn and you brake the gears.
2) If you mount slick tires, again the grip is too high.
3) On top of it you cannot control the lubricant temperature.
4) Nobody gives a warranty on racing components, why shall I recognise it if the box is racing in state of travelling along the coast?
I hope you have now enough infos for understanding the terms of the warranty.....which i am still the only one declaring it in pubblic.
Who needs to dyno test or race or simulate some matters, by knowing the restrictions he will kindly ask what to do......and we will be pleased to manufacture a special unit for those purposes.
Regards
Wanni
