Greg do everybody a favor, Call G-force and send the trans out for there blue print job!!! Old school, gears should be parallel to each other with main contact spot in the middle of the 2 gears. They now set gears to drive into each other with one being a little head of the other. The play in the shafts, and the air gap between where the gear are engaged are the most important thing. I am no KieslerNick fan but they have given out more help than alot of other companys. Break a motor and take it back to the machinist and see what happens if the bearing are spun, It's all yours 98% of the time. Kiesler Nick Nick I can but a 1K motor to the back of any "stock trans" and it will live for some time. There is a Viper running 8.0's with a STOCK trans but read a little farther down and find that the trans went to G-Force for a blueprint job. I think the your company has helped Greg with his problem. There are too many trans specialist NOW getting into this thread. I am backing out. Nick maybe down the road Tremac should have a trans school like FORD and GM for building trans for racing or blueprinting. Just a thought Rick Lake trans schools for GM 31,5-6 speed trans rebuilt 4, came back blownup 2, putting the right trans application to the right motor, pricless. Clutches don't count
