Search for the thread. The short story is the required 1000 easy street miles using Calimer's recommended fluid. One track day and 4th gear shattered on the street during a test drive in a residential area with a 45 mile an hour speed limit.

Read your thread, that super blows!!!

Did you send yours in or buy a new one? I wanted a new one so that is the way I went.

You are not getting a new one. You are getting a core that they had laying around that they rebuilt. I sent mine in. What really blows is mine was shifting fine. It only came out for a clutch replacement at a little over 90k miles. I decided to have it built as preventative maintenance since it was already out and the mileage. They even commented how good it looked when they tore it down. I think something either went wrong in the cryo treatment or I didn't get my original gear set back. The turn around was so quick I don't see how they were able to send out my parts for metal treating.

Interesting. Yes hopefully I have better luck. Was getting 3rd and 5th lockout a bit on mine and figured why not.

I hope so too. If you don't Calimer won't stand behind their product.
