Fellas,
When my swap was done, used 5s tranny with the input shafts as well, they currently have 278,000 KMs on them, and I'm getting a little worried throwing 280-300hp at them.....does anyone have any suggestions as to beefier axles I could swap into the 5s Tranny, it is full front wheel drive, if nothing can be swapped I'n, would it be a good idea to buy new stock axles for this Tranny??? Can't find a stage 1 or 2 axle anywhere for the 5s Tranny!!!
Your input is vital thank you.....Josh

I bought some replacement axles from Advance Auto, they're etched with "Made in Japan" and they're bigger than the OEM axles (32mm nut vs 30mm nut on OEM)... I think OEM axles are fine for turbo applications, and will probably handle past 300HP. The axles nor the transmission will limit you at or below 350hp guaranteed.

Of course that is assuming your axles are fine and dandy in the first place...
