Waiting for the guys that drag race to post! Seems to me there are a few guys running big cubes and racing with stock transmissions that have little issues.
Not an M8 but my 2011 120 TC build striped 3rd gear bare and I have heard of others with the 3rd gear issue.
I wonder if a lot of what we see is some guys choose to run a thinner motor oil in their tranny instead of a thicker gear oil that will cling to the gears keeping them lubed as they spin. Of course the transferring issue on the M8's could play a big role if the tranny was to get low enough with the thinner motor oil and it can't cut the mustard when it gets low and it doesn't bath the gears any longer and cushion the meshing action like the thicker gear oil would. Just thinking out loud here.
Bert Baker told Randy last week that a T/C 6 speed gear set won't cross over into a M8 without changing a lot of stuff. Bert said right now it's cheaper to replace an M8 broken gear set with factory parts.
Yes, Second and Third Gear. Seen more Third than anything. About 6 Total. "They" know there's an issue.
