Shep has told me that he will most likely (if not, definitely by request) weld bungs onto the transmission for an in and out for lines for an oil cooler (for those of you who plan to put an oil cooler on this transmission) he will also recommend a pump and what not.

I would say the real compromise for the pump addition isn't added weight, though mine is heavy, its the risk of additional connections and points of failure with oil leaking out. That is the real trade off and require diligent maintenance to mitigate that risk. Its not a install it and forget it kind of thing.

wow....soooooooooooooooooo pissed about this. I called Shep a few months ago about an upgraded 6 speed and I was told they were not going to be doing anything more with the 6 speed, and the upgraded gear set was a one time thing. I went with a TRE 6 speed because it was the only option other than building a 5 speed, and now they are doing these built 6 speeds again.................
My motor just had a ring land break, and is down for a rebuild that will be able to hold 600whp, but my transmission at most will handle 450whp. Awesome.

They are not doing them "At the moment" I talked to John last week and he was shocked as anyone that the manufacturer is now going to do another 30 sets for him which are in process now.
When asked for a timeframe and price, he didn't want to quote anything as last set he took a bath on due to the swing in the AUD.
Sorry Erik.... You're no longer special with the last set LOL Just the last set of that run :-)

Can't wait for pricing on this! Hopefully it will be cheaper than buying a 5 speed, sending the 5 speed to shep for a build and buying the cables and mounts

I have an MR making 560whp, need to get one of these to handle the TQ-450, any time frame on the new gear sets so Shep can do another go around on the built 6 speeds?
