New Tremec transmission

I am sure that would not be good for the transmission but I got the impression from Hauss's commentary that he was power shifting 5th gear from 4th gear, when these failures occurred.

Not sure why you guys are going off the rails but let me try to clarify what is going on. 1st off to me power shifting means no clutch this is not the case.Heavy throttle in 4th using clutch to shift to 5th and rail breaks around 5500 rpm. new rail will eliminate roll pin adding more material to shaft {no 2nd hole drilled for roll pin.} making it stronger. same design on the new TKX holding the finger to the shaft.the new rail will share features but will not be the same as the TKX so there will be no patent violations. Tremec or silversport or liberty gears should have already done this!
