Consumer Description

MY TREMEC TR56 TRANSMISSION TEARS UP EVERY 600 MI. FORD AND TREMEC ARE AWARE OF PROBLEM WITH SYNCHRONIZERS BREAKING, THEN CAUSING OTHER PARTS TO BREAK BECAUSE OF METAL PIECES MOVING INSIDE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T DRIVE MY SHELBY EVERY DAY. IT ONLY HAS 8054 MILES ON SPEEDOMETER. IF I HAD DROVE MY SHELBY EVERY DAY FOR 30 MILES ( 8054 DIVIDED BY 30 MILES DRIVEN 7 DAYS A WEEK} THIS COMES UP TO 268 DAYS FOR TRANSMISSION TO TEAR UP 3 TIMES. THE FIRST REBUILD WAS AT 6851 MILES THE SECOND REBUILD WAS 511 MILES LATER AND THE THIRD BREAKDOWN WAS 511 MILES LATER. THIS TR6060 TRANSMISSION IS BREAKING DOWN IN G.M. VEHICLES ALSO.
