I was recently looking around and came across this interesting process. I know how the 6 speed is weak in the 4th gear so I was just wondering if anyone has heard of this before. Would it work or even help?

I was gonna call and find out but I wondered what you guys think first.

 

anyone?

 

I know a guy with a turbo diesel dodge truck who is considering it. Otherwise don't know much either

 

what is mikronite?

 

MIKRONITE® material treatment imparts a high energy flow of abrasive and carrier media in a fluidized bath that cascades against the surface of a work piece while supporting its structure. This technology refines the surface of the part and as desired can create compressive forces, increasing the metals ability to resist deformation under load.

On ceramics and glass, failure and fractures are understood to propagate from the surface through the body of the part. The use of MIKRONITE® material treatment to virtually eliminate cracks and inclusions results in a structurally sound and significantly more durable product

 

anyone else have experience with this? I've never heard of it before

 

Mikronite is a process that improves the surface finish of parts. The smoother the surface, the less likely a crack will start. If you don't understand the benefit, take a 8.5"x11" sheet of paper, hold it sideways and pull apart on the top edges. Repeat the same process after adding a small tear in the center. Get it?

It also helps to reduce friciton. I don't feel this will solve the strength issues with the transmisison, but will definately help reduce friction.

 

How about an exhaust manifold? Possibly stronger, resists cracks, and reduced air resistance..
