It does seem some have good luck with their MT82s while others don't last long with any amount of power or abuse. I bought the car from the original owner with just 14k miles and doubt it was abused much. The trans always seemed to have a bunch of slop in it. Maybe I just got a bad one with how quickly it failed.thanks for that info. I’m always trying to educate myself on the MT82‘s capabilities. I had all of my hard parts Cryo and WPC treated and I sure hope they’ll hold up to the rigors of drag racing. I‘ve made at least 30 passes with mine so far and it seems to be holding its own for now.
I will say the Tremec seems to love the abuse. It really is a big beefy transmission. It does feel a bit clunky when driving easy around town, but at the track banging high rpm shifts it feels right at home!
Best of luck with your setup!
