Just some advice as Ive been through the entire trans and have a damn solid setup for it. Too many people break something (not just the MT82, but cars in general) and label them as junk, rather then understand the problem and why things happen.

that would be me and my buddies 403ci. The GTR we raced had mid pipes, down pipes and a Cobb tune. It pulled me by about a car length and went one for one with the 403ci. The 403 just recently went 10.6 at 130.XX. Whoever had the better hit won that race. And he claimed that it was likely slower then stock from the Cobb tune... because apparently a stock 09 GTR should run harder then 10.6 at 130.....

Listen to my 1-2 shift in this video. That was right at 8k rpm and was effortless. I couldnt do that at 7k rpm with the stock clutch

I'm with Evan. I don't understand why people think removing alittle spring at the clutch pedal is going to all of a sudden allow you to shift at 7500+ rpm. The pressure plate is weak. There's no reason why it shouldn't be able to push past alittle spring.
Twin disc clutch is the fix. Better trans fluid, dot 4 brake fluid, SS clutch line, will make the trans feel better. Not fix the pressure plate disengaging the clutch at 7500rpm. Nor will a shifter. Actually I could shift the **** out of the car at 6600rpm with the stock shifter no problem.
The Barton works good. It's a little notchy for my liking, reminds of the shitty pro 5.0's for the t3650... but you get used to it. If the MGW wasn't $400 I'd give it a try.
If your shifting over 7k rpm, twin disc or destroy synchros.

no ****. when I was having trouble with that boss and people were like "remove the spring dummy!!" I was like wtf?? for one the pedal isn't sticking to the floor. and 2, it's like the clutch isn't disengaging fast enough at high rpm. wtf does that spring have to do with anything?

Thanks. And wrong with it? Nothing. Just needs some tweaking and dialing in. It makes the power (550whp to be exact), but has a little too much gear, needs some slightly quicker shifts, and it needs a better powerband. I raced him on the roll. It ended with him a half a car ahead of me and no one pulling in fifth. Had we started in second gear instead of third... I may have even gotten the win. Tough to say. He needs to spin the car to 6500-6700rpm to really have a beefer power band. He shifts right around 6k. He also doesnt want to break it.
What it comes down to is people convincing themselves that the cheap fix is the right fix...because its cheap. I cant tell you how many people ive told to put a clutch in their car as the first mod and they always say the same thing... "i dont want to put a clutch in my brand new car". Well then have fun rebuilding your trans multiple times. It didnt take Shaun long at all to lose his second gear synchro after adding the Boss intake.

Lol Evan, you broke every gear before you put a clutch in it.
But no it's the truth. Cars need a better clutch. So many people chose to go with a spec or an exedy which really will not help these cars at high rpm. Twin disc or gtfo!

Clutch wasnt the only issue with mine.... the other small parts played their role. As far as synchros... we replaced all of them while we were in there. 5th rings were completely rounded over. 2nd rings were on there way out. None of them were perfect except 1st and 6th. So we replaced them all while i was in there. So far at 5k miles in, its perfect still. Love the way it shifts through all gears. Been lucky so far and havent missed a gear once since the rebuild. Only a matter of time I guess. I also expect to eventually in the future have to change the synchros again as its a wear item.
