Transmission Differences

[JN66]

Hey Fellas -

I know the transmission in our car is a bit smaller than a GT (which is partially why it can overheat with no coolers) but what other differences exist between the two?

Please let us not fight in my thread. This is for discussion and facts only.

Thanks!

Gearing, country of origin, remote mounting position, native cooler integration for Track Pack, R, and '17 cars, spline count.

Tremec transmission compared to MT-82

Size isn't much different between the two and isn't related to temps. The input shaft is spinning quite a bit faster at max rpm on a TR3160 over what an MT82 sees behind the regular coyote motors.

The TR3160 also employs gun drilled shafts, linear bearings and TR6060 sized synchros.

Chinese built transmission- MT82
Mexican built transmission TR3160

Having driven both there is no comparison IMHO. The MT82 is vague and the sloppy. The TR3160 has more positive engagement which some feel is notchy, I like the more positive shifts.

Thanks brother.

So, when the input shaft is spinning at 4000 or 5000 rpm, what would cause this transmission to overheat and not the MT82? Does that have to do with placement of the transmission in relation to additional ambient cooling?

Just because there isnt limp mode doesnt mean the MT82 can't overheat. I know a lot of boss track guys had to add tranny/diff coolers as well

Fair. Hell of a point here Sir. That is interesting and something that never crossed my mind.

Appreciate you joining in.

Really what I am trying to do is understand why something would overheat over use at a 'regular' rpm (4000-5500) type idea. I'll be jumping on whatever fix is available when it does come out - just want to learn.

I don't believe that limp mode is being activated when the rpm ceiling is only 4000-5000rpm.
