i got my 6 speed apart today and will be sending the 3-5th gears out for rem and cryo.
the root cause of removing the trans was a failed syncro spring.
does anyone have any experience with that happening? would it make sense to send all the springs out to be cryoed? im planning to replace all of them.
also interested in what to look for/replace while i have it apart.

I’m at 550WHP on my Shep-built 600HP spec 6-speed with no issues. Though I’m seriously considering building the custom oil cooler through the fill/drain plugs for piece of mind.

Evo IX GSR 52k kilometers - 6 speed JDM here also at 370whp on stock turbo. I am about to build the engine and tune on Fp Black but this is not my dd and it won't take much abuse from me....maybe once a week

Probably a bit late for your needs, but the spring undoubtedly failed due to fatigue cracking. Shot peening will put the surface of the spring in compression which is very good at improving fatigue life. I'd follow it with REM to reduce the depth of any surface imperfections that could act as crack initiation points. I've done a lot of reading on cryo, and while there are some good indications of benefit for certain properties, the effectiveness of cryo is strongly dependent on the material. I don't think it would hurt anything to apply it, but if I had to bet on the level of benefit without knowing the spring material, I'd bet on little to no benefit.
i have everything back and will be reassembling as soon as i have some free time.
Jacks does some magic to the springs or keys to prevent spring failure but they only offer that with a full rebuild and since im doing it myself im on my own. oh well.

I still have my 6 speed. Just under 400awhp. I don't abuse her too much so I'm hoping it lasts. I love the 6 spd and would even consider having it rebuilt. Or is that a waste of time?
