Pictures of the trans for 5.0 people. I dont wanna hear it from anyone else. No one here has opened up an MT82... so no one here has the room to say a damn thing.
Anyway... as you can see from the internals... 1st and 2nd gear are actually beefier then any tremec. And that came from the guys mouth who has built every tremec in existance. The weak links looking at the trans, are mainly the cheap plastic shift pads. Its common to replace them with bronze pads. That keeps the transmission shifting firm and not turning to slop over time. My 3-4 shift fork was the only one with damage to the pads. One broke and was in the bottom of the casing. The other was crushed completely. The only other internal weak link, is the welded tabs to the forks... which is very easily strengthened by anyone who knows how to weld. The syncros are just beat from abuse and the every so awesome VALEO (boss 302) twin disk made in turkey. For now, im replacing the syncros... the bad pads on the 3-4 fork... and installing my Mcleod RST with aluminium flywheel. Over the winter, ill be grabbing some bronze pads and REMing all the gears. Only other thing necessary to do is make sure the shifter is properly adjusted so not to hurt shift forks. As far as the strength of this trans... theres not a single part in there which leads me or the guy i did it with to believe it is "junk". In fact its a pretty beefy trans... just with a few little things that need to be tweaked.
Another thing thats nice is that the rings are seperate from the gears themselves... making it very cheap and easy to faceplate/proshift the trans.

Nobody on here besides you has ever opened one of those trans? Id be shocked if that were true.

On other things. I am no longer in Germany but I am in a cloudy hole called Belgium now. The roads are awful and there are hardly any fast cars around here.

Dude get real. If you could truly afford the 90" you would have atleast gotten a Grand Sport instead of going to an independent lot and buying a used base model. If you had paid attention to what I said earlier, that is my BEDROOM, we barely even watch that TV as we are pretty much always in the family room:
That's my baby. Elite Pro-70XF 70" 3D LED, with Sanus LL-11 low profile wall mount, Pioneer SC-57 9.1 and Triton Cinema 5.1.
