Track whores with MRs?

Hi guys, I am a beautiful and unique snowflake....
Ask TRE or Shep about 4th gear on the 6spd. It cannot take the heat, it's not from ham-fisted drivers. This has been discussed ad nauseum since I started this thread six years ago.
Mine went at thunderhill, if you are in the "faster" club there in a Evo, you are mainly in 4th gear all the time on that track. Lots of heat buildup.
Second TRE built 6spd only lasted 5 months or so. I went to a TRE built 5spd and never looked back and it's still going strong years later.

I blame all of you! My trans was fine until I got on this thread!
JK! Seriously had an epic failure sunday at NJMP. Second session out was OK. Pitted in for a sec, next thing I know I can't get it into 1st or 2nd! I start out the next session in 3rd and 2 laps in I lose 4th. I kept going with just 3rd and 5th. Lots of fun...Time to call SHEP!
Here is the video-
Running NJMP with only 3rd & 5th gears!

While I have 50K on the car with around 2K in track miles I chickened out and got a Shep ultimate ratio 5 spd.
I really liked the 6 speed , I'll let you know about the 5. I just hope I sleep a little better now
