I have over 450 rwt on a TKO and I drive it pretty hard most all the time whether on the track, strip, street because that’s what I built it for. Likewise, most guys in our club have a Tremec without any problems. We have 2 or 3 guys (me being one of them) that have broken axles and half shafts without fazing the Tremecs. This poor guy got a trans with a manufacturing flaw and it failed. As good as a Tremec is do they really think that every trans they make is perfect? Insult to injury this guy got hosed on the price and still these pussies where he bought it will not do the right thing.
My solution….Boycott Keisler and we all demand Tremec repair their failures….even if they think it was some kind of end user abuse, which I strongly believe it was not. Remember, they advertise and we buy their products because they are tough and we have the right to demand service for what we paid for. The next time this happens it could be one of us.

Being hosed on the price, I am not aware of another company that supplies turn key transmission kit for a mopar. Its a great kit and we worked with Greg to fix his problem. Keisler supplied the counter shaft and the other parts for the transmission. Also a cobra kit car doesnt have any weight behind it, and most of them dont have good traction that does make a huge difference.
