well, i think this are 2 different methodes to fly transwarp.. you should keep in mind that the term transwarp is not linked to a technology but to speed. Transwarp means traveling faster then the normal warp scala allows - if you remember that the USS Excelsior was ment to fly transwarp, too

first of all i remeber a tos epsiode where a take a probe on and it controls the ship and makes it go to warp 15 and the ship nearley goes bang. and also if i remember transwarp is not warp it's tecno that folds space and lets you jump it

Transwarp = Achieving speeds unatanable (*curently) with normal warp but not going asfar to incorperating it as slipstream/quantum slipstream or coaxial warp ect.

the warp 15 was on the cochrine warp scale not the refined warp scale for tng, that after warp 9.9 goes up exponentialy and could very well have an infinate number of 9's after 9.9 but that would thus far result in infinate speed as warp 10. enterprise apaerently rely's on the cochrine scale although since enterprise has already killed the timeline it could very well use the tng refiened scale.

Coaxial warp = warp that folds space

The voyager episode "Transwarp" i belive where Tom took the shutle to warp 10 is technicaly imposible and probably the biggest eror made in voyager but as i see it what was done was done and up above i stated that transwarp is a term used for achiving speeds unatanable with normal warp.

The excelsior transwarp didnt work since scotty sabotaged it but the technowledgy is now a part of normal warp since that only extended the warp capabilities of the normal warp drive but since they can go past what was estimated by the excelsior transwarp using enhancements onm this technowledgy, and others.

*a prime example of this is the excelsior transwarp.

I totally agree with cts006 as he describes exactly what I meant.

My only complaint: It's Cochrane, not Cochrine.  

is it humm i don't see much differnce?

yep, others should see at once what this thread is about, so i changed it, nothing to start a discussion about

I haven't intedended to make the name change the topic of this thread, but by just changing thread names without notification is something some people don't like so back to topic or sence the anger of the meanie admin!
