Hard shocks is what kills transmissions.

The main differences between the various TR6060 varients is in gearing and in the front case/tail shaft areas. Acutally most have the same gearing except the ZR1 which has a very close ratio setup.

I will talking with the Tremec guy all next week.. what questions do you want me to ask?
Ask him how to stop people who don't know what they are talking about from posting on wikipedia.

Oh, and I assume that the different variants all use the same housing, shaft design, bearing support locations, etc., so what (besides ratios) really changes depending on application? Do they use higher grade steel for the higher hp cars?
