I was wrong, Dark Horse does not have forged pistons and rods

So, only one DH owner has this "bible" of specs in the gift pack?

I bought my car used with 800 miles on it, so the gift pack was probably sent to the guy who bought it and traded it in.

You got non DH owners in a DH sub forum trying to justify not owning a DH... make it make sense. Just enjoy yo shit. I've owned 3 GT's, I didn't want another one. And if you want a manual, I would never touch onother MT82 tranmission. I paid maybe 10k more for my dark horse premium with handling package & recaros than what I would have paid for an optioned out GT PP with similar specs.

In all fairness, MGW kits make the MT-82 shift way nicer. They don't address the throw-out issues of earlier variants, but it is what it is.

Can't speak on reliability, but take that for what its worth

Not to start another argument but a showroom stock Tremec feels better and shifts better than an MT-82 with every aftermarket part installed.

The fact that every manual S550/S650 V8 isn’t a Tremec is silly. The MT-82 ruins the manual experience for anyone who isn’t familiar with the quirks. Only thing I miss about it is the ratios used in the 11-17 boxes.

Tremec’s definitely feel better - no questions about it, but I have zero issues with the MT82 after getting the MGW. A stickshift is a stickshift, and i’ll almost always prefer one over an auto, even a bad one.

I did the MGW and fluid change back when I had a 15gt.
What an awesome upgrade!
Beautiful piece of equipment

Only you would turn a piston question into a slight against your car and make a transmission flex.

Is that a nice way of asking him if he ever blew a tranny?
