Just our experience.
I'm not sure our clutch was the best fit for the tranny.
Back in '05 we had a shepherd tranny installed with an '05 1st and 5th, also with an exedy twin disk clutch installed in our '03. Had difficulty engaging 5th in speeds above 50 mph, talk about "lugging an engine". Essentially we needed to bang it into gear or double-clutch, both pains in the a$$.
Fast-forward to '10, we replaced fried exedy with stock setup; now it slips right into 5th like it's teflon coated regardless of speed.
Not blaming tranny, maybe it was clutch.

The REM ISF process doesn't make the gears stronger, it makes them more tolerable to surface cracks that propagate to ultimate fracture of the gear from fatigue.
I would go through shep but it doesn't say anything about shot peening on the list of options.
