I figure with the money I have in it, I'm going to just stay with it for a bit. If putting a billet 6th gear in makes it completely solid, then why not at this point.

Depending on how I like it overall. I'll either stay with this transmission and change the rear gear to a 3.15, or I'll find a built T-56 and switch over to it and sell my MT-82.

I would want to know that I have beaten on the Calimer MT-82 pretty good and it's holding up before I would sell it to someone else. Unlike some people, I do have a conscience and will not sell a part that isn't up to spec unless I have completely explained the condition and why I'm selling it so someone knows exactly what they are getting.
Did they say what the cause of the 6th gear failure was? Why exactly it "broke"? As an outsider looking in, doesn't sound great.

That's a solid pathway forward. Who knows the transmission may be good to go now. I have the stage 2 Calimer in my 2015 and it is way better than the stock MT82 that was in it. I only have about 460 rwhp with the mods I have, and I don't track the car. I do drive the car and like to push it through the gears. I do hope everything works out in your favor from now on. Good luck.

They did not say why or what they think happened. I didn't push it, hopefully if it was something they made a mistake on, it was corrected and now I have a billet 6th gear to match the rest. I paid on Wednesday, but haven't heard from them I'm about to send another email requesting an update now.

They should have sent it right out on Wednesday, upon receiving payment. You’ve shown good faith in your part by paying for work twice. I think this situation warranted getting you knocked out quickly, but unfortunately, that hasn’t happened. Hopefully you’ll receive it sometime next week.

My whip is a 22’ GT Roush P2 with full headers/exhaust and e85.

My mt82 died at around 5k on the odometer.

t56 magnum swapped and car made 800+ whp and 760 torque and NEVER grinds or anything, no lock out, nothing bad to say even after power shifting the daylights out of it…lol
