Are burnouts bad for the car? Is it hard on the transmission? I say its not. The only extra stress your putting on the transmission is the initial burst in the begining to get the tires spinning. Other then that, I think its the same as if you were driving, nothing more.

Damn, for a second there I thought I was going to have to make a trip to Georgia and slap someone.

But then I realized your just starting sh*t and already know the correct answer.

unless your pouring oil on your tires there is stress involved when getting them to spin, and with inconsistencies of asphalt texture(concrete is even worse) there is alot of shock taking place even though you don't feel it so much in the drivers seat. why do you think they make stage 2 axles.....

The only time your going to have to worry about harming the axle becuase of stress if when you actually get the tires to hook. Like with slicks for example. If your spinning freely your not going to harm the axle no matter what you do.

Plus, if you have a stock tranny. You have many, many, many more parts that will break before your axle does, unless it's already defective.

Input shaft is a fine example of this....

while rolling down the highway you are spinning freely, but doing a burnout there is resistance, that is why when you let off the throttle they stop spinning....
