Oh you probably mean the shifting. ;D Yes, the only issue I've had is the crunchies going into 2nd and 4th. That has diminished over time and with a trans fluid change. I also installed a Steeda shifter bracket which firmed up the shifts into 5th. I use a light touch with my shifter and have only missed a couple of shift on track and I chalked those up to user error.
Yes and maybe an 8.5 because of the grinding I originally had in 2nd and 4th. I've tracked my car and have missed a total of three shifts in three track days, two in my Boss and one in a BTA car, and those were on me. I've made hundreds of WOT redline shifts from 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, and 3rd to 4th. Not all the cars are having problems and you only hear about the cars with issues. I believe a vast majority of issues you're reading about are the clutch and not the transmission. That's not to say people aren't having problems, they are, but it's not systemic. Have you driven a Boss or a GT? Check out this photo of the original shifter bracket and a Steeda bracket. The bracket didn't make a big difference but did firm up shifts into 5th and 6th where you're putting lateral pressure on the shifter. The black rubber is barely firmer than a marshmallow.MakeMyDay said:So then, in regards to your MT-82 tranny, you would say that you're pleased with it overall? On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being total dissatisfaction and 10 being totally satisfied would you rate this tranny a 9? Do you drive your vehicle both track & street?
Thanks for your reply.

I have 10" Race Ramps and it took 10 minutes. You'll need to be able to get completely underneath your car so plan accordingly. Don't expect a lot but for $80 or less it's cheap to find out. Joe Heck racing makes one that's less money as does Barton.batman48195 said:Is it easy to install the bracket? Do you need a hoist?
