OUCH why you need to go 5spd that 6 spd **** don't last. I'm surprised TRE didn't tell you that. At least they didn't find what they found on my car lol. Go look.

they have been telling me for ages, haha.

I was actually about to, but then they told me about this "Neat" (brand) 4th gear from Australia. https://shop.neatgearboxes.com.au/pr...r-evo-6-speed/

Might be a little noisier but should be stronger. They don't give a torque rating but the OEM torque rating is anyway way lower. Excited to see how it does. Honestly the gear held up for about 30k miles, ton of track days and abuse, and only broke with the super low RPM 4th gear pull and loaded it up and blew it out (won't ever be in 4th gear in low RPM to boost up).

That said, I don't have hugely high hopes. Even if the 4th gear is much stronger I think there are design issues that TRE doesn't like about it, something about how the keys and synchros were set up - BUT, if this does hold up, for people like me that are "only" making 400whp, this might be a good way to go. I love the snick-snick of the factory 6spd.

As a 6 speed owner, I'm really interested in how this holds up!

What a thread hijack lmao

Jon@TRE has one left in stock, then I think he has to get more from the company. I'd grab it now if you have the means - seriously. production is not guaranteed either, as you can imagine it depends on demand.

You should be more worried about the former commander in chief giving 84 milling a week to the Taliban for no reason what so ever. Maybe things like that should concern you more then worrying about tarrifs. I am sorry but its ****ing stupid comments and actually people like you who know nothing about anything and who believe everything you see on tv and major news networks CNN, FOX etc try to make someone like the president look bad when you look at all 4 years he was there before into one of the best 4 year spans in the last 20 years? Sorry for the political rant but your ignorant and you need to wake up. I mean dems want to take credit for things Trump did the last 4 years but who do we complain about for tearing our country into **** the last 4 years? Funny I am sure you complained about the gas going up didn't you? Bet you were all about 4000 people losing their jobs when Biden took office and the first thing he did was close down the pipeline in Alaska. Funny somehow its the "dictator" in offices problem and his fault right? Sorry I don't agree with everything left side had done and I don't support what the right side has done. I want to vote for a person who will do right for our country, regardless if its left or right wing. Do the job your paid to do. Best thing to happen is a non politician takes office and gets things back on track for this country and dig it out of debt yet again. Maybe I took what you said out of context and sorry if I did, but I believe we as a country are in trouble if we continued to go into the direction the last regime was taking us. I mean there was a reason Russia didn't invade Ukraine till Trump got out of office. They know the puppet wasn't going to do anything about it and they were right.
Dude, are you kidding me? You're calling me ignorant and that I know nothing, while you're out here acting like trump isn't literally Russia's stooge. The first thing he did was stop sending aid to Ukraine, that is what Russia wants to happen, how is Russia afraid of the senile orange cheeto who thinks Elon's (another ****) car brand is named Teshlur? He's attacked and criticized Ukraine far more than he has Putin and he's currently trying to plan a deal with Putin about how that can carve up Ukraine and give as much of it as possible to Russia. This was Putin's goal, it's laughable you're acting like Putin is afraid of Trump when everyone trump does it to Putin's benefit. And now, Trump is attacking our centuries old allies with a trade war (hence this post) which further strengthens Russia by weakening the rest of us. You speak like someone who didn't get past middle school yet you're calling me ignorant. Does Pinckney even have running water, let alone public education? Don't call me ignorant when you come off like you get your only news from Donald Trump's twitter feed.

And no, I didn't complain about gas prices because I'm not a monkey, and thinking that Elon is going to give out $5k checks to everyone is as delusional as it gets.

Dope Evo but holy **** stay out of politics or next time take a nap before you decide to call someone else ignorant.

You just proved my point thank you. Make sure you get your facts straight next time. Did you know Elon actually adopted the Jewish religion as a second religion. Yeah look it up. And if you really wanna know about my town look it up its on the map and let me know when your coming I will be gladly to show you around.

i just think it's funny people started liking elon just because of politics. i've hated him since the cybertruck launch event in 2019, the dude is such a ****ing tool lmao. tried to show the windows were bulletproof by having some guy throw a metal ball at the window, only to have the windows take a massive crack lmao. should have focused more on making the cars fireproof. tsla is tanking not because of anti-elon, but pro-oil moves by the current administration, reversal/softening of epa requirements of manufacturers, paired with a decreasing like of electric cars by most american consumers. Ive never been an electric car guy, but if I had to pick an electric car right now, I think the ioniq 5n is pretty damn good and in some ways I see it as a spiritual successor to the evo.

none of which has anything to do with ordering parts to/from canada, lol

UPDATE. Confirming for anyone ordering into Canada. Yupp you will be charged tariffs everything coming in no matter what. Even if the item was not manufactured in the USA they don't care. Nothing got through without them from 5 different sellers across 5 separate states. Pure stupidity. I was even charged 25 percent on top of regular taxes on a $200 item. Out of the roughly 5k in total I was charged nearly 2k in import charges.

I will support whoever can provide/supply what I need. The US is a great supplier, manufacture and carrier of quality goods and they deserve to be rewarded for that. I'm not going to "support and buy Canadian" just because abunch of paper pushing bureaucrats tell me to. They sunk our production and economy by being super dependant, shut down production and entrepreneurs through greedy tax collecting/permits/licensing to do anything. The downfall of Canada is nobodies fault but our own.

Yea this was at least my experience so just heads up for anyone wondering in the future who may be unsure. You can take a chance and might get lucky but it seems pretty certain to me. The only thing got through tax free was abunch of discontinued silicon sard hoses which shipped with usps. It seems anything shipped with the big ones (UPS, Fedex, dhl ect..) are going to get it the worst but thats just my guess. Its seems pretty arbitrary from their end.
