Ben Calimer Stage 4 MT-82

With what I spent, I could have spent just a smidge more and went the T-56 route. But learning lessons the hard way right now.

This thread is a solid example of why not to go this route.

Did he give you an eta as to how long it would take to open it up and assess the damage? If you pay for the parts needed to repair/rebuild, can you get him to just ship them back to you, so that you can either reassemble yourself or source another shop for the rebuild? If it’s out of warranty, he should at least give you that option. Have you asked him to provide pics to show what was damaged?

Tremec just released a transmission that goes down shift rev match and speed sensors for the new gen 3 mustangs. Worth a shot.


You have a 16 but the swap should be direct bolt in. But I think any t56 magnum xl will work

I haven't gotten that far with them yet. Whoever was emailing me initially was careful but nice. Then the emails got really short and pointed. It was supposed to arrive yesterday, but it was delayed. It shows arriving by the end of the day today. So I'll reach out tomorrow morning and request a timeline, pictures, and possible solutions. Not sure what to expect from them at the moment, but I'm just not feeling super confident in the product at this point.

It happens, know a local guy that went through 2 full rebuilds ($$$$) on the mt82 before calling it quits. Local trans shop stopped carrying everything except the basics for the mt82 (and claim to have had many of the calimer rebuilt trans failures come through their doors with the ungraded gears).
