[QUOTE="Tob, post: 15070952, member: 83412"] I'm just a cog in this wheel and will be passing all of this hardware on in fairly short order so I aim to take advantage of the opportunity for a closer look. When I have everything in hand (thanks to Mike at Autonation for supplying the parts) I'll be fabricating a rolling stand for further review.:read: So my QC Department and I broke down the skid that Mike had shipped to me. [img]http://svtperformance.com/articles/Image00001.jpg[/img] You can complain about Mexican transmissions all you want but they sure kick the crap out of the MT82 from China. [img]http://svtperformance.com/articles/Image00002x.jpg[/img] [img]http://svtperformance.com/articles/Image00067.jpg[/img] [img]http://svtperformance.com/articles/Image00003.jpg[/img] [img]http://svtperformance.com/articles/Image00004.jpg[/img] [img]http://svtperformance.com/articles/Image00005.jpg[/img] [img]http://svtperformance.com/articles/Image00006.jpg[/img] [img]http://svtperformance.com/articles/Image00008.jpg[/img] The factory crossmember and mount are going to be used to replicate an actual in vehicle install. [img]http://svtperformance.com/articles/Image00003.jpg[/img] Again, I'm short one of the damper weights but should have it early next week so that everything can be bolted together. [img]http://svtperformance.com/articles/Image00011.jpg[/img] The missing weight will go on the back of the entire damping ensemble, or to the right of the crossmember, before everything can be bolted to the transmission. [img]http://svtperformance.com/articles/Image000x4.jpg[/img] [img]http://svtperformance.com/articles/Image00014.jpg[/img] Interesting, is that there appear to be two engineering numbers on the forward damper with this piece being the one with "green" at the end of it (as well as having green marker highlighting it as well). [img]http://svtperformance.com/articles/Image00016.jpg[/img] Initial observations? Mind you, I had a TR6060 on a stand for review and now this one. The TR3160 is[I] far [/I]lighter. If you rotate the output flange back and forth you immediately get the sense that this unit is a bit tighter in terms of backlash. I'll withhold commentary on the shifter until I have everything in place but I can say that this transmission is quite a bit smoother than the TR6060 as well. [/QUOTE]
