The shifting problem is a timing problem that affects the locks in the 2/3 gate caused by the way Tremec made their shift rods. The Liberty kit fixes this problem. Brent has a fix also and it sounds like the Cobra Valley Ultra Shift upgrade might also address the gate problem.

If you are adventurous, Liberty will sell you just the pieces. That and a Tremec service manual from the Tremec site will let you easily do the upgrade on a Saturday. If you send it in to Liberty they also have a countershaft bearing upgrade that is worth the effort.

p.s. Just took a look at Cobra Valley's Ultra Shift. It is a lubricant not a mechanical fix for Tremec's bad lock timing in the 2/3 shift gate where they struggle with the 3rd gear engagement / 2nd gear disengagement timing.
