Default Tremec TKO 600 issues

Im new to this site so give me a break,, I have a Tremec TKO 600 i bought new from Liberty Gear & Trans i had them make all the necessary upgrades to correct the 2nd to 3rd gear high RPM shift issues. Well it worked good for the 1 st year now it will make a grinding noise when you shift into 3rd gear after everything gets warmed up & you try & shift from 2nd to 3rd above 3,00 rpms or higher rpms & now its starting to do it from 3rd to 4th gear. The clutch & throw out bearing are new so that's not the issue

The transmission is in a 1980 Z28 Pro Touring car with a LS-3 with a TSP camshaft & i upgraded to lifters to the Johnson 2116 STR

Has anyone else had TKO 600 problems? (Also does anyone know of a reputable shop in Houston, Tx or close bye that is familiar with the Tremec TKO 600 trans so i can take it in to see whats going on with it.

Sounds like you need to step up and get a T56 Magnum and never look back!

I would send it to these guys for repair: http://www.calvomotorsports.com/
