Antivenom 3rd Gear Shift Solution
For anyone seeking more info on this mod and someone's experience with it - here you go.
After supercharging my 08Z (600rwhp) and adding a MGW shifter I found that on a hard run through the gears I would often hit what felt like to gate going from 2nd to 3rd gear.
I read up on using different tranny fluids but none of the evidence seemed conclusive to me - to help the 2nd to 3rd shift issue. So I decided to try the Antivenon mod and installed a couple of 20mm copper oil drain plug washers from NAPA - one measured 0.8 inches thick and the other was 0.55 inches = 0.135" total.
After installing the washers I found the shifter was easier to move from one gear to the next - and over the last 2 weeks only missed 3rd gear once out of over 20 hard runs through the gears. So in my view that is a significant improvement and a worthwhile mod.
EDIT: The NAPA part numbers for the two drain plug washers I used are as follows:
704-1357
704-3006

This has been done for many many years on the T56 trans...supposedly gets rid of the "notchy" feel. Didn't know it was applicaple to the TR6060.
