Default Lucky People With Trans

Kiesler Nick, I think it's great that Ryan supra make 1300hp, what's the tork? Tork, poor driving habits,gear sets out of spec, too tight or loose, wrong fluids in trans, poor machine work from CNC operators, and the list goes on. How much of a pain in the A$$ is it to install a Getrag trans behind any Ford or GM product. There are options for the tko500 and 600, this should be included with the price of the trans. By the time you add the custom parts and machining to the trans you are at the same price as G-Force. G-force has 2-3 options for a trans, Tork tube, and 200+ gears choices. G-force has run in Pro Stock, Have not seen any TKO's yet. I have two shifters for my car, a vertigate for 1/4 mile and a short shifter for autocross and road racing. Every trans has it's limits and the price different between the G-force and tko600 with the bells and whisles added, I stay with G. G-force has a kit for TKO,$2,500.00 to improve this trans and blueprint it. I have seen Vipers break this trans with 600 hp and other drive with 750 hp and have no problem. You are in bussiness to sell products for companys, How many time have you had the stones to tell the truth about a product that is not up to the mark. I am a mechanic for 25+ years. There is alot of bull out there, there does seam to be an alignment problem in the pictures above, I am gald you helped out Fordfan69, problem is how many others are out there with the same problem and when there's breaks what happens???? I have never heard of a company having a RECALL for defective parts unless lawsuits and death happens. Rick L
