Lost 3rd Gear at the track

I think my experience with the swap is in my build thread. I used a Shaft Masters aluminum drive shaft and set the gear ratios in the pcm using HP Tuners (no converter boxes). Everything works including cruise control.
 
I would just mention that the other option is a Calimer Stage 3 Mt82 with the 26 spline. I would say that its about on par with the tremec but has a higher rating, on paper at least. A little lighter and cheaper then a XL swap (you keep your driveshaft etc). Rebuilding a MT82 with regular parts is a waste of time unless your are never going to the track again... With out proper internals they are doomed to fail again and again....:toobad: The stage3 is all forged gears with the bells and whistles like carbon syncros etc.
