I wrote the above post two months ago and have since "given up" on getting a real reply. Personally, I don't believe Tremec will ever address this issue on the record. They either have to blame this problem on an incredible coincidence, incorrect installation, or "user error." Absent that, if they disclose a real problem then they are put in the position of either announcing a recall (and paying for shipment, removal/replacement, etc.), or doing nothing and risking a class-action suit. I think the folks on this board are probably too savvy for the first option, and the other two options are not particularly palatable.
