I note that Fordfans gear has the same pattern of broken teeth as the full trans picture. Teeth broken off toward the REAR of the gear. The question is: IS there a misalignment OR is the less than full mesh of the teeth in a Tremec 'normal'? If less than full mesh of the teeth IS normal, does it constitute a design flaw and an inherent weakness of this model trans? I don't know...

I understand the argument of the synchros partially engaging and thus damaging those small teeth, which clearly are not damaged. Making a 'partial shift' argument difficult to understand. But I can't totally discount it without thouroughly understanding the internals of a Tremec (which I don't).

No argument from me on either side, just trying to analyze the comments, pictures and design specs of a Tremec.
