[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16290912, member: 166576"] Welcome! Ill keep this simple but here goes 1: Probably need to have the transmission rebuilt. They are tough units, but you are correct that the syncros from the factory are weak. WOT box, torque limiters, Blowfish Bracket etc are all band-aids to this issue. For me , WOT Box helped the most. But the issue is IN the transmission. With a fresh and healthy TR6060, a WOT Box is VERY effective. Ive got all the parts for a fresh trans rebuild for my TR6060, just need to pull it and send to local Tremec dealer. Look into Calimer Transmissions. He is considered one of the best Tremec/manual trans builders in the performance community. Can definitely beef up that TR6060.
