I told you that T5 wasnt going to last long...
I'm using the actual GM fluid that tremec recommends in the TR3550. Quite expensive. cost about $45. My 3550 is holding together nicely. I think you will be happy with the 3550. Try to get some miles on it nefore you go to the track. Mine sat for a few months before it went in, and it was stiff as hell for a good amount of time. Now its smooth as a babies ***, going into gears... after its warm.

ran gm synchro mesh in my tko600 as well was around 42 a qt at the local gm dealer, but yeah they break, mine did while i was under full boost in 4th gear racing a turbo vette, 4th gear when i took it apart had about 3 teeth left on it that were intact but man i was moving around 135 when she blew right before i threw it in 5th

it's actually good news from my prespective...given when and how it blew up, there is no way it'd of held if I had been spraying and I'd been upset if it was at the track at one of our private drag day meets cause here in october , i'm goona shoot for a new personal best, so I'd like to have the car in top forum, the tranny I've known has been the weak link so now I have a reason to put in the tremec
