I’m sure the lockouts start happening when trans is hot. We were on a 4th of july drag a few years ago with other american cars only a few MT82 cars we were doing pulls first 1-2 pulls everything was fine for everyone then 3rd or so pull all MT82’s started locking us out of 3rd. Here in Europe we learn how to drive on a manual car so all of us have an Idea how to drive and on unprepared surface all of us were doing low 13’s high 12’s. And this was happening on both stock engine cars as well as heavy tuned ones. So it’s I guess a characteristic of the MT82 when hot or when chassis is flexing.I went out for a test drive this morning. WOT, shifting as fast as I could, but couldn't repro the issues. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I have this installed. I'm running the performance tune. If I recall correctly, there is another member here who's got the same setup and if I remember correctly, he mentioned that after installing the kit the shift from 1 to 2 felt easier/smoother.
The mile long throw on that thing!! People don't understand when you have long travel or slip, the amount of abuse or rushing is considerable compared to right tolerance and short working throws.Maybe we should let Grumpy give it a try.
Don’t see how being in Europe makes any difference.I’m sure the lockouts start happening when trans is hot.

Yeah, but I never get tired of watching that video.The mile long throw on that thing!! People don't understand when you have long travel or slip, the amount of abuse or rushing is considerable compared to right tolerance and short working throws.
Me neither! Gotta love the cigar while banging gears!Yeah, but I never get tired of watching that video.
MGW shifter and McLeod RSTReplaced with?
I didn'tQuestion re. replacing the MT82 fluid with Motul Multi-DCTF, should an additive like the XL-18 be added too?
The lockout issues in the S197 GT500 TR6060 was largely #1 the OEM clutch and #2 the OEM shifter.I had a GT500 with a Tremec TR6060. I HATED it. I had many issues with 1-2 lockout. My MT82 D4 is much better. Silky smooth. Like daSnake said, we will see how it likes 800+whp and 650ish torque here in the near future. I have a Steeda Tri-ax and Vengeance stage 2 clutch getting ready to go on as well.
This is actually an interesting question. The GT350 has a different clutch than the GT. The GT, Bullitt and Mach 1 seem to have the same clutch. Would be nice to have a confirmation on what the Bullitt, Mach 1 and GT have from the factory.Got a quick slightly off topic question.
Since the easiest comparison here is MT82 versus TR-3160 does the Mach1 & Dark Horse use the same clutch as a GT or the GT350?
I had 1st a Barton shifter then I went to an MGW shifter and with both I had a twin disc McLeod RXT, and it still would lockout a bunch, even after I got a Blowfish transmission brace.The lockout issues in the S197 GT500 TR6060 was largely #1 the OEM clutch and #2 the OEM shifter.
Keep in mind I am not trying to indicate your particular transmission didn't have an issue. I quoted it as a relevant segment into my points.I had 1st a Barton shifter then I went to an MGW shifter and with both I had a twin disc McLeod RXT, and it still would lockout a bunch, even after I got a Blowfish transmission brace.
I don't doubt that the TR6060 is much more stout than the MT82, but the MT82d4 is a far better transmission to shift than the TR6060. If I had not totaled that car, it would have gotten a T56 Magnum as an upgrade.
