Verdict on current TKO 600 Transmission?

[Excaliber]

For the engineering for strength guys out there:
1. Tremec changed the counter shaft design (two piece) to a solid machined one piece design to INCREASE the strength of the transmission. Reference was made to the older multi piece counter shaft being a 'weak point' in the original design.
2. With the NEW design 3rd gear does not perfectly line up. Maybe thats a problem, maybe not, the answer seems to 'depend' on it's expected use.

Would you prefer a MULTI piece counter shaft over a misaligned 3rd gear counter shaft? Which one do you think is stronger?

I would assume that SOMEBODY must have broken the old multi piece counter shaft but theres been no mention of that, or did I miss it? Perhaps the new design was a proactive move on Tremecs part to simply increase over all strength?

Short of a completely new trans case and gear set deigns there seems to be no other option to have BOTH a one piece counter shaft AND a perfectly aligned 3rd gear. There are no realistic options to address this particular 'engineering' design, it is what it is. You either live with it or not. I seriously doubt that 'soft gears', as has been suggested by some, is the problem, therefore, it's not a realistic part of the solution. Buy one or don't, THAT is the option now and in the future as I see it!
