How long have you had your car at 600+hp? I think ill be around 550whp im hoping my 6 speed will last the summer if i don't beat on it to much... It seems like when a gear does let go its from a beating on the car constantly.

BUMP for update on this new gearset!!!! It worries me every day that I will blow mine up and not have money to repair it so I wont do any more road course driving until I can afford to replace it. The cost of a built 5 speed and all of the conversion parts needed plus install hurts my stomach to think about, but re-building the 6 with strong gears is the news I have been hoping and praying for!!!!!!

Anyone who has questions I suggest actually picking up the phone and calling jon as he never responded to my emails prior to our phone conversation. I never asked him availability but only price and when I asked him that question he said he is working on it and that is the expected value. I am sure the gears are available now since he said when you are ready we can get it started. I am sending my transmission out in the next couple of weeks after this semester is over so I will update you guys on my status. As far as specific questions go about the product only one person can answer that and it is Jon@TRE himself. For all you 6 speed owners asking about other company's with gear upgrades I can tell you that nobody else has tried making it stronger. Jon@TRE is the only one I have found.

How hard is it to ask for a receipt?
As a vendor, I have now seen very sketchy behavior from what appears to be customers of competing shops complaining about work randomly. Now, I am not saying this is occurring here, but random comments about how crappy a certain vendors products are (now) makes me suspicious.
Not to mention there is absolutely no qualifying these statements (mods, abuse, horsepower, etc.).
