New Tranny or Evo MR?
I can't believe im ACTUALLY considering this....but my tranny is giving me trouble again. I'd probably get raped on the trade and Ive got a 2000 dollar clutch...should I just get Turbotrix to build the tranny? Or buy the MR?

I dont know man, I heard the MR 6 speed tranny is weaker then the 5 speed...It could give you more problems... Id say rebuild the current one. I have heard some bad things when it comes to the 6 speed tranmission though. Either way if you were to get the mr then id probably have that one rebuilt to.
Id say get turbotrix to build the tranny, it will cost you less in the long run depending how much you owe still.

Go read the post of the new road and track test of the MR. The mag said that the new MR 6 speed is a vast improvement over the 5 speed of the current evo. They said you can keep the car in boost and in the meat of the power band much easier. I'd go for an MR if you really have the money. If not, wait about a month til someone wrecks one and do a tranny swap.

we are not talking about if MR tranny can help you keep the car in boost or not. We are talking if MR tranny would be more reliable. EVO's 6 speed tranny had a big re-call in Japan last year. To this moment no one have the right answer for you as we don’t have the MR's here to test even if we do it will take few months and even more to see how the 6 speed tranny runs (in terms of reliability) I would say stick with 5 speed and rebuild it from TT.

an another link said that through the first 4 or five gears that the ratios of the 5 and 6 speed tranny are nearly identical, so it does seem like having turbotrix rebuild yours is the best option

I figure. Im curious, does anyone around have it done by TT? I hear they do awesome work, but under the circumstances, I want a beefy rebuild. I dont know what they do that could make it so much tougher. I was supposed to stop by there today, but I got well liquored up last night and slept in. next week...haha

I think it's premature to guess on the MR tranny reliability until it's on the road and in the hands of owners. I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of missed gears since the 6 speed gates will be so close.

The only problem is, I'd have to ship the tranny. Tough to do...especially when Turbotrix would be the guys I'd call to yank it and re-install it. All things equal, I was just out for 2 hours. The tranny hasn't been right since the 2nd rebuild, and the clutch still isn't full disengaging, and the T/O bearing is noisy. I think TT will definitely render all this problems non-existent in the shortest period of time, closest to my home.
