Oh Jesus effing Christ man... blow it out your ass! Seriously, ban me from this site but dude you can't please everyone, especially your sorry ass. Do you work for Tremec??? No seriously, you must work for Tremec with as much horse**** as you spew here! I'm tired of this ****, another prima donna spewing hore**** here. Tremec is the ONLY transmission??? Give me an effing break!!! Obviously you have never raced ANYTHING. Please, enlighten us with your racing experience!!! Oh, I'd love to hear that!!! Go karts, slot cars... what else??? Oh, hold on...let me pull that up from XYZ's website and give you a bull**** answer!!! Again, these internet commandos have ALL the answers!!!! Please, adhere to all their recommendations and ask what NHRA team they work for... |

Surprised me too, Glen. He seems to initially think I am attacking Tremec and then he suggests that I work for Tremec!?!? Without skipping a beat he steps up his game with some personal attacks and then spirals down into an unrecognizable sort of banter that feels like another personal attack but is far too convoluted to comprehend.
His follow up commentary about keyboard commandos is also curious. It would appear that he is attempting to project certain personality traits, of his own, onto others he has chosen to dislike — for whatever reason. I think you were right in your observation about a bad day or perhaps night?. It really is difficult to understand otherwise ... Ed |
Yes, surprised me also.
One minute asking about alternators; and then not long after, aggressive behaviour towards a longtime well educated member. |
Some people just don’t have the temperament for forums and the back and forth and should probably just stay away.

A member for 8 years and only 74 posts suggests a quiet fellow.
With the plague, people dying, and political crap happening, and not knowing any personal circumstances, I vote to drop it and let it pass. No point in piling on when someone has already blown a gasket. Just let them know they are still loved. |

Great all you guys can talk about is banning people instead of machining a new rail for the5th gear reverse.

BTW I believe you are right about Jamo and what it takes to get banned. That is an achievement few are capable of. Look how long it took Evan. :) Ed |
So as I was saying I am about to talk to a machinist friend of mine but before I do anyone interested in a 5th gear reverse rail for a tko 600 ? It is new and improved no more roll pin removing to much material from the rail making it weak.

It is only because buyers wanted to believe their treatment was not the norm that Tremec got away with this kind of customer service for so long and has been able to prosper despite the poor customer service. Buyers today have choices, more so than in the past and it is to their advantage to explore them. The strongest message you can send to manufacturers like this is delivered with your money and shoe leather — especially in times like these. Ed |

Very informative and entertaining. I wound up cryo gears and updating internals on a T-5 because 2 to 3rd gears failing. It was close to speed shift but a hard shift. Eight years ago. Seriously wanted to put in tko 600 but saw all the issues people were having so went the route i did.
What about the Richmond Street 5 speed instead of the tko? What would the drawbacks be? Not enough knowledge of both to determine. Thanks |

Well I was thinking those of us who already have the tko 600 and maybe even your t-5 .not sure if it has the same rail as the 600. All I am saying is it would be a low cost alternative for a chance on a better transmission. It would certainly be a big middle finger to Tremec for not fixing the issue. Trying to drum up some interest here starting to think maybe this is why tremec just chose another direction.

A good machine shop or machinist should understand better than me what I'm about to say. You have to do more than just grab a piece of steel and make it the same size and shape of the original piece. It can be done and engineers reverse design parts, for equipment that is no longer made, every day. I'm not trying to discourage you, rather trying to save you from having to do this 3 or four times to get it right. There are many grades or types of steel. Any steel can be hardened by heat treating or ion nitride hardening. Harder is usually stronger, but more brittle. Hard steel is difficult and costly to machine, so a milder steel is preferred to machine and then harden it for strength and wear resistance. Heat treating causes shape changes, especially if not properly stress relieved. Nitride only heats the metal to 900 deg so dimensions are more stable. Heat treating can harden deeper than Nitride hardening. When tooling is used to cut steel it leaves sharp micro cracks on the surface. Normally not a problem for soft mild steel that will not be hardened and not repeatedly cycled in heavy load conditions. These micro cracks are crack propagation points - kind of like a stone ship in a windshield. Machined areas should have the finish ground to remove the micro cracks. Polishing is needed for harder steels. Also there should never be a sharp corner - perfect 90 deg change in direction. These should be radiused. The corner should have a minimum of 1/16" radius for most stuff. Some applications 3/16" or more. Start by doing a hardness test of an existing broken shaft. Also try to identify what the steel is. |
