Our prototype is on the left and currently under testing. Once we are satisfied with it, it will go into production. Even though the two appear identical, our gear is designed similar to the TR6060 2nd gear in both material and processing of the gear itself.

Correct. I was hoping to see Ford make the move to those as well in the 2015 car but have not yet that I am aware of. We are developing some hybrid rings for the MT82 but its an expensive process.

I would use the fluid Ford suggest in the unit unless special circumstances exist where that fluid will not handle the stress you're subjecting it to.

Obviously everyone is going to have their own experience with fluids but I can tell you, we've had good success with a 75%/25% mix of Mobil 1 ATF with Syngear II fluid in the MT82 which is also what we've had similar results with in the Tremec based units with very similar synchronizer rings.

I'd leave it alone for at least 40,000 miles unless you're are beating the hell out of it regularly.

How many miles does your transmission have on it?

None of the above is correct for an automatic transmission.

The problem with a lot of synthetic fluids is that it reduces friction so much, the synchronizer rings cannot properly wipe the fluid off the cone in time to engage the gear without resulting in a grind. As for the MT82, its an old platform used in the Ford Transit that dates back to the...

We have had very good results with Mobil 1 ATF mixed with SyngearII in the MT82.

Interested in seeing what you come up with and if you need anything developed in the future, let me know. We design and manufacture drivetrain components.

2nd gear, 2nd gear side of the synchronizer assembly and the 2nd gear synchronizer ring are common failures in the MT82 unit.

Interesting. What products are you seeking to develop from the TR3160?

This shaft uses the 26 spline disc common for GM applications but also used in the GT500 Tr6060 and for upgrades in the 03-04 Cobra T56 models. You'd just order a McLeod twin kit with a 26 spline clutch disc instead of 23 spline.

The damage to the 2nd gear is from a few things. 1) Too much flex in the drivetrain which causes the shift gates to misalign while trying to hit the next gear 2) Poor forging quality of the gear itself 3) Clutch not releasing properly 4) Synchronizer ring inadequate to shift at...

Same thing but on the MT82, its a 1 piece gear that includes the constant mesh and synchronizer cone incorporated together.

The small teeth are called engagement teeth. The larger teeth mesh with the cluster gear and transfer power through the unit. When you are grinding gears or it pops out of gear, its the small teeth taking all the abuse. I've seen gears in other model transmissions take an absolute beating and...

This is the actual 2nd gear.

This is 2nd gear from a 2015 Gt with 9K on it.

The more rigid the mount is, the more susceptible it is to transmit driveline noise. As frustrating as the factory mount is, its designed to reduce driveline noise and vibrations.
