Is it worth upgrading a Tremec 600? I see Liberty, which is local to me has upgrade packages.
If you buy the trans from them for an additional $300 installed they will
- Bronze Shift Fork Pads
- Surface Enhancement Processed Hubs & Sliders
- Internal Shift Linkage Upgrade
- Liberty's Exclusive Threaded Front Cluster Bearing Support
- Carbon Fiber Blocking Rings—2nd, 3rd & 4th Gear
Brent Lykins also has a Sure Shift upgrade for around the same price. I am not sure what is in that package.

Since I am buying a new trans for my car I could get it upgrades already installed and avoid having to pull the trans if I wanted it done?
Searching the internet indicates
- This trans varies a bit and experiences differ.
- Needs to be broken in
- Is difficult to shift from 2-3 fast
- I also read here that unless you are shifting over 6000 RPM upgrades do not help
There is also conflicting information on shifter upgrades.
Any experiences?
I know Brent Lykins works on these, I am hoping he will chime in.
