Ever try to shift a tremec at high RPM? You can fix it, then you've spent more than a jerico would be to begin with and you still have a weaker trans. Still can't get an inline shifter for it either.

I guess not. Mine was in an '89 and usually didn't get above 5500 lol

Yeah that'd make a difference. Above 7000 the 3550/TKO gets uncooperative, and the 6060/Magnum does too.

At high RPM's the early model T5 and Tremec's suffered from the cases flexing. A lot of times when people thought it was power breaking them it was really the high RPM's. Same the with blocks. Harmonics were a killer with the cheap stock'ish type parts.
