Funny thing was I was in denial at first, I thought I broke something suspension related as you can see me test that out in the vid before realizing what happend

and the lap right before:

Thanks for the suggestions...what do you mean by adjusting my clutch...just adjusting the clutch pedal?? Yeah both the Royal Purple and Amsoil were 75W90 not 75W85. Like I said I had no problems with the Royal Purple during hard shifts but ever since I put the Amsoil in it randomly grinds on hard 4th gear shifts. My Evo is around 350-360whp and my roommates was 450whp plus with stock clutch and he has Amsoil in his and has had no problems and it shifts perfect...My car shifts find with normal daily driving and cruising around...oh well...

There doesnt look to be any gear wear. I would say you got good life form the trans at that torque. High boost on stock turbo makes wicked torque. I think these trannies are worth using. Your plan to shot pean the new 456 is a good idea. 1/2 in the 6 speed is a good bit beefier than 5 speed. without question 5 speed tranny is over all stronger. But 5 speeds are breaking too.
