Dont feel too bad I have a 15 and it grinds too even after having a bunch of stuff replaced, I already gave up on fixing it.

There are some good threads in the transmission driveline section about the operation of the synchronizers and blocker rings and why they can refuse a shift.

On other sites, some speculate that in high hp applications the trans housing itself may flex and they recommend faceplating the trans (Liberty Transmission explains this well), but those guys are pulling 1000+ hp.

When I say from what I gather, I mean my observations of others statements and my experience, no science there. I have the sintered metal rings and never got blocked out of second, although I was not spinning the tires during the shift and I shift around 6300.

When I have missed shifts I believe it was the boot I was wearing. My wife told me the brake lights were coming on when I shift. I have a prosthetic leg, so I take my shoe off now and no more missed shifts (still working out slipping the clutch). None of this will help your described situation but it's my experience.



I did this before I started racing it.

WAIT WAIT WAIT, You have a prosthetic leg and you drive manual? Meanwhile we got a bunch of auto p*****s on the forums complaining about not wanting to drive a manual because of traffic and other bullshit excuses. WOW dude you got my

Another part available is the billet release bearing support made by monster clutch, it replaces the plastic stock support that can melt........

Yeah 2nd gear is my only issue so hopefully it helps.

Put a manual in my off-road truck too, but I try not to poke too much fun at the auto guys. At the end of the day, they are more consistent at the track. In my mind the manual is a good choice for those who want a power level above the 6L80 but don't want to lose two gears to get it.

Bookmarking this thread, want all the upgrade pieces. Mine shifts great except the 1-2 which is tempermental until the tranny is warm.

Speaking of all the upgrade pieces, I was thinking that a cheaper alternative to the 9310 shaft with the tailhousing bearing would be to get just the bearing from Rockland have 300Below cryo treat the mainshaft. This would probably work well for racers who have later model cars (post 2010) that don't have the weaker mainshaft.

Ya I will keep you posted on how it turns out. Shop can't fit me in till the 29th so it's a waiting game. I did ask them about beefing up anything else while the trans is torn apart but they said I shouldn't need to. They are a certified Tremec dealer with great reviews so I that's good to know.
