Anybody ever looked inside to see what the alignment is with 3rd gear? It would appear, at least on some, that 3rd gear teeth are not fully lined up with the counter shaft 3rd gear teeth.

Awesome pic!

Duane,
here's a pretty good rant / thread on the topic: http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/foru...ad.php?t=57300

Talk soon, John
ps, these are made in Mexico, aren't they?

Received an email today that set the record straight for me, with a picture. It sounds like any of the reputable transmission distributors for Tremec have an explanation, details, and reasons behind the locking in gear issue, and the breakage, along with the 3rd gear alignment issues. No further questions. Thanks to everyone for your responses.

How about sharing that email, I have one but still in to my build but have grown scared of the trans from all the negative posts. slpinc@sbcglobal.net
