To me this looks like material failure. Such a transmission like the 600TKO with the advertised power handling should take a misshift with no problem.
We misshift every once in a while without breaking our transmissions.
I have a TKO600 myself and have raced it hard and it runs perfectly.

With every happy customer you gain 2-3 new customer, with every unhappy customer you loose 10. Bad new travel further than good news.
What are these guys at Kaisler arguing about?
I would try to get this issue settled in MINUTES and get the problem off this Forum ASAP.
Dont repair the broken TKO but send this guy a new transmission and fight the cost out with TREMEC. They will listen to you!
Keep the damage to you company to a minimum!

Roushac:

Thank you for the input. that's a good idea.

Just to point out, both of those pictures you've posted are both mine.
The other transmission is in the link listed in my previous post. They do look almost identical in everyway.

Thanks

That's why he posted it here and other forums to try to bully them into a decision more in his favor after lying to them about the circumstances.

If he had hit the wall at the track and told state farm it happened on the street would he be getting any support here? NOPE! Would his insurance pay to repair the car knowing it was on the track?? HE!! NO. You take the car to the track and it's all on you.
I've put over 4400 miles on my TKO600 with an engine that makes over 600ft. lbs and had no problem what so ever. Last month when I made over a dozen runs down the drag strip in one night I understood that if I broke it I bought it.

Quit your whining and accept the offer that was extended and move on.
