I originally had the .64 gear. Hated it. So I asked the guy I bought the trans (Hanlon Motorsports) from if he ever has a customer that did not like the .82 to swap with me He found a guy. All I paid for was labor and the synchronizer upgrade

We routinely talk people out of the .62 on new builds. Most do not cruise fast enough to make it work well and most Hi Po engines are not real happy at 1700-1900 rpm.
Gaz64 and ACHiPo like this.

Don't like the 0.64 in my SPF, either.

[QUOTEDwight,
Thanks!

Is this the Liberty street upgrade you're talking about? Did you get the Pro 5.0 shifter as well?

Tremec Transmissions | Liberty's Gears

Upgraded – Synchronized

$2,654.00 (w-Pro 5.0 Shifter $2,829.00)

Bronze Shift Fork Pads
Surface Enhancement Processed Hubs & Sliders
Internal Shift Linkage Upgrade
Carbon Fiber Blocking Rings—2nd, 3rd & 4th Gear][/quote]

Yes ACHiPo
I shipped my parts to them and they did the upgrade then shipped back to me. I had Eddie install the new / reworked parts. Took about 1 1/2 hrs.
I have bought shifters in the past but they never helped. The last two I used the stock shifter with the upgrade and they worked great.
In my opinion, (I'm not the smartest guy on the block) shifter don't help enough to justify the cost. Spend the money on the inside of a TKO, TKO II, TKO 500 and TKO 600.
As it was explained to me the bronze synchronizers are to heavy to shift fast. They use carbon fiber bushing to help slow down the synchronizers.
