What updates are done to the trans?
Thanks! I was missing the 2-3 at the last rental with the car and thought it was due to me just botching the shift. In speaking with Hanlon, he asked if I had trouble hitting 2-3 quickly. I confirmed and he wasn't surprised. The blocker rings were shot and synchos had some good wear which explains why I couldn't hit the shift quickly. Normal or generally spirited driving was fine. Or....maybe I really can't drive and this made me feel better.

Internal upgrades really aren't much since there isn't anything available without essentially stepping up to magnum internals which is a involved conversion likely costing $5k+. The mainshaft is a viper size unit, bigger this and that. We replaced all worn parts with new OEM since the aftermarket hard parts are questionable. The pump should really help to keep everything in good shape. Hopefully it lasts.
