MT-82....

+1 I can't even deny my 3650 is crap, reverse is grinding.
REVERSE!! lol

reverse in that transmission is non-synchronized. so that could be something with you clutch or just user error.

proper technique for a non-synchronized reverse :
came to a complete stop
put the car in first
then put the car in reverse

The thing with that is no one knows how many. Majority of owners don't post on internet forums.

I thought TR3650s were fully synchronized? The T45 has no reverse synchro. For it I always went 5th then reverse.

I do 3rd then reverse in all the manual trans cars I drive. Always seems to line up.

It might be. I was just taking a stab in the dark. Synchronized reverse is retarded anyway

I've been putting the car directly in reverse for 2 years no grinding, there is a reverse synchro.
It only grinds when going directly into reverse (now), so I go to 4th then reverse now.
How did i manage to do it fine for 2 years?

You just said there is a reverse synchro, that's how

No issues so far with my MT82 and stock clutch.... almost 2 complete years with this setup now.

Love the smooth shiftyness (vs. a TR6060, for example).

Full weight car traps 132MPH .... unsure on the HP, but it's high.

Mine has been flawless since day one. Very quite and smooth, especially when compared to a TR-3650. Only issue the shifter having slight movement but a aftermarket bracket will fix that.

I think the MT82 while not a great trans is good, I have no complaints other than the 1-2 nibble when cold, other than that mine shifts smooth and it is one of the better trans Ive driven in a performance car
