Help Me Create a List of Manual Tranny Problems, Please oh Please

jikelly · Feb 19, 2007

Howdy, I've got a school project for which I'm going to create an online tutorial on how to rebuild the Tremec 3550 transmission. Of course I've never done one of those before so it's going to be a bit of a challenge.

What I really need help with is creating a listing of the manual transmission problems and I was hoping you guys could help me out. I need to know...

Symptom, part Affected, cause, course of repair.

So if you can help me with this I'd really appreciate it. I think I'm alright with the actual rebuild. I've downloaded a manual from Tremec and I've got a rebuild video to lead me in the right direction.

I'm rebuilding my Tremec because...

Symptom... Hard to Shift;
Part Affected... bent Shift Forks???;
Cause... something stupid that I did to it;
Course of repair... Spend a bunch of money

JI..Can't help with an online tutorial but i can tell ya I have a 3550 in the Cobra and its like a truck tranny, It shifts like crap. Powershifting is out of the question and its pretty much always been like that. Some say part of my problem is the B&M ripper shifter I have, but I would not purchase another 3550. As long as you don;t want to shift fast its fine, but forget any kind of drag racing activities.

But, If you want to send your tranny to me, I'll will pay the shippng though.

Yeah, my 3550 has always been hard to shift, but I can shift it quickly if I want. I just have to watch out for the 2nd to 3rd upshift. It tends GRIND a lot.
