Technical Questions
What type of lube is recommended for my TREMEC transmission?

The following types of lube are recommended:
TR-3550/TKO - GM Synchromesh or Dexron III
TR-3650/T-45/T-5 - Dexron III
T-56 (Ford and GM) - Dexron III

I am installing an aftermarket shifter on my TREMEC.  Do you have any suggestions?

The major problem with aftermarket shifters is that they have stops on them.  To install them correctly, you will have to remove the stops completely.  Our transmissions are built with internal stops.
