Ok... Let me break this down for you. I'm using the Synchromesh, and it sucks. Whatever was in there before was *FAR* better. As well, no one was relying on anyone. I just posted what the tech guy at Tremec said.

Let me get this right... You are suggesting I take YOUR advise over a guy who has worked for Tremec for years and has rebuilt and repaired the 3550 probably hundreds of times (three times I called Tremec over the past month and each time I got someone on the phone who worked in repair for several years).

I realize this post may seem a bit edgy, but your condescending attitude mixed with various silly assumptions (Mr. GED. etc) just seem to get on my nerves. Perhaps you could look into a bit more couth?
