[QUOTE="SCalla1384, post: 14214807, member: 90008"] The mt82 gears are fine, and not the weak point. It's the plastic pads, plastic shift stop and the quality of the synchros. Mix that with a crappy factory clutch, it's not ideal. I just killed 4th and 5th gear. I picked up a low mileage working mt82 that's going in tomorrow. I'm taking mine to a local guy, used to build transmissions at a shop now does it on the side. He put my bronze pads in. What were going to do is send the gears, sliders, and input/counter/main shaft to be REM polished (probably Evans Performance in GA) and hand dress the dogs/synchros. Hand dressing the synchros won't make them stronger, but will allow much easier gear engagement without grinding. So it'll take a lot of wear and tear from them. And also polishing the synchro hubs. Cryo treating the synchros seems hit or miss. I've read posts where people had gears/synchros cryo treated and a few weeks or days later they fell apart. I guess if the process isn't done correctly it'll just make it brittle and crumble. I would talk to Liberty Gear and rev auto. I'm sure you can find someone local to do it. A performance trans place should be able to upgrade. These transmissions aren't as complex as some people think. My guy when he opened the trans up literally used a 2 and 3 jaw puller, and a slide hammer for everything. It's a bunch of gears on shafts [/QUOTE]
