no, the oil pan nut clears, just need to tilt it a bit
There are to many variable from car to car, the point is with minimal mods and my Pro 5.0 I'm shifting at 6k+ with no issue
Are you making 500+ rwtq?

Barely, for me. I bought one of those nuts with a valve in it, and that is waaay too big to fit. Oh well.

Nope, I believe it's right around what you're PJ made before the supershaker..

I hate my clutch. Mines going to the shop today to get looked at and figure out its shit shifting. I have the WORST time putting it in reverse and a pretty hard time goin into first lately.
I have the same problem on the 1-2 shift, anything over 3k RPMs is basically impossible to shift into 2nd gear. However, I never miss 3rd gear like many of you have said. My car is a mild bolt on GT with an MGW shifter which hasn't relieved the problem. I posted a similar thread to this on TMS, afraid I have a bad synchronizer. They mentioned a TSB was out so perhaps you could look into that.
/\ the 1-2 usually is the syncro from what I've read. I never had the 1-2 issue, for me it was 3-4 believe it or not.
Welcome! Glad to see you made a first post

WOW.....glad I found this thread!!
I just purchased a LL 05 GT bone stock that is having the same shifting problems. I thought it was the syncros...but sounds like that may not be the case. Mine shifts smooth as silk normally driving...but try to speed shift (at any rpm) or just shift quickly above 4k and it grinds like hell.
Also...if you downshift to 2nd at high rpm it'll grind.
How sells the torque limiters?

would torque limiters still be worth doing if there is already a solid k-member holding the motor?
IMO yes, as it stops the tranny from moving.

are the torque limiters fairly easy to install, just jack the car up and bolt them in? or does anything special need to be done? BMR k-member BTW.

its a fairly simple install I'm told, I'm not much for turning a wrench, but the k-member brace you install may be an issue w/ the BMR - I just don't know..... sorry.

Yeah, it's a very quick bolt on. Took maybe half an hour for me.

seems like it would be simple enough, just connecting a rod from the chassis to the transmission on both sides
I may pick up a set if the k-member isn't enough.

According to the CHE site...you MUST have the CHE K-member brace to use these.

If you're only having troubles WOT then this has cured my problems. http://www.npcompleteperformance.com/wotbox As an extra benefit you get a 2 step and window switch.

Although you will have to modify it to fit if you have the BMR K-Member.
