Tremec are noted for being rough shifters anyways especially compared to the T5 but it should not take muscle to put it into gear...mine got so bad I broke the bolt holding the shifter before i rebuilt it<br /> <br /> <small>[ 2013-04-09, 10:11 AM: Message edited by: triple b ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>iSTUNT707</b> <br /><small>Member # 11430</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2013,3,9,10,21,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I have a tremec t3550 and the damn thing isa BITCH to adjust but when u get outta adjustment just a lil bit if you have an adjustable cable fire wall ect. your gunna need to frequently check it to make sure your firewall adjuster doesn't turn on its own...also does it under the car most flustrating shit ive ever dealt with lol <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>3rdlife</b> <br /><small>Member # 8134</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2013,3,11,13,27,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> adjusting hasn't worked... might need a rebuild<br /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
