rj8806 Rich I have a couple of questions. Is there an alignment problem with the gears and shafts? Under NORMAL driving conditions in any car no running slicks this trans holds up fine. I have replaced 4 t-56 trans in GTO's 2-3 gear shifting is stripping and breaking the gears. 2 cars are hard driven the other 2 are show cars. I see an alignment problem and weak gears that are manufactured in GOD KNOW WHERE COUNTRY. The metal is softer than in the 60-70's. Your own tech guy was saying a 900hp turbo car uses this trans stock. Later he says it was blueprinted. Stock is stock. You sell a blueprinted opition for this trans don't you??? Why?? I bought a 6-spd richmond when they first came out and installed it in my car, motor is a FE 452 motor 368hp
448 tork. the rating on this trans is 450HP and torque. I had a shifting problem both from a clutch problem and the trans wouldn't power shift. Called Richmond and was told about this. I went to G-Force and told them my HP and that the car was for mostly racing, they sold me a clutchless 5 speed with a custom gear set. Trans makes a little noise because of the straight gearing but with a 1k HP and torque rating this is expected. I talked to a pro car builder with a cobra and a tko 600 trans and he is having a shift problem with only 200 miles on the car. The motor is maken over 700hp. this may be causing the shifting problem. He understood that this trans may be over powered and is looking at another trans. Here's the bottom line If you are going to sell this trans maybe you need to ask for application and Tork and HP ratings on the motor and wieght of the car. If people are going to race or beat on there cars, ( HERE"S WHERE COMMON SENSE COMES IN) sell them a blue printed trans right from the start. This would have stopped this long thread. There are 3 sides to every story. Your's,there's and the truth. I am gald you stood behind tremec and helped Fordfan69. This show your company not tremec is a standup act. I hope you and your company and family have a nice holiday season. Rick Lake
