New Tremec transmission

[eschaider]

I think the challenge you are going to run into here, Hauss, is that the average guy can buy the steel cheap, machine a snap ring groove on his buddies lathe, buy the snap ring for less than a dollar at McMaster and get the shaft heat treated, with some luck and talking for way less than the $100 target you are looking at.

That makes it a bad business proposition for a for profit business because as you said the guy doing the work was left out / forgot. Just some of the sad economics associated with this type of business ...

Really nice video.

My TKO600 shifts well, but I don't do a lot of speed shifting. One thing I noticed in the video is there is a reverse lockout for shifting out of 5th gear. My unit does not seem to have this feature. I have to be careful when downshifting from 5th to 4th to not go into reverse. Does anyone else have this issue?

I have watched every video that Paul has done. Very impressive. I was a little dismayed during one of his videos where he stated he will work on them but he doesn't like or sell Tremecs.
