Tremec TKO 600

The sender is built into the Tremec. There is only a plug and its part of the transmission too. I got the male end of the plug from Keisler for free. I just spliced it in.
Today is September the 7th 2007. I have had the transmission for nearly 2 years now. I have made a lot of passes with it at the track. And have made 21 passes with it behind a 454.
I have picked up a noise that I cant explain. I am pretty sure its the transmission. It only does it under higher RPM. I can do it / create it at will. Especially in 1st gear if I am accelerating hard and then dont shift, if I leave it in gear and engage the clutch the transmission will make a really odd noise. Almost like a grinding. Its as if its gears with rounded teeth. Its not a crunch but more like a rubbing. I dont think its synchros as I can shift up and down flawlessly.
Could it be the new rear end? Its got a detroit locker. Its driveline..no doubt.
One time I was able to do it in reverse at a stand still. Clutch engaged, as I pulled it into reverse it made the noise.
Comments anyone?

I dont think so. Does not sound like a bearing. And I have the runout nearly dead on.... its within the .005 spec for the Tremec.

Called Keisler today to ask about the 2nd - 3rd shift problem. I still seem to find that if I shift hard it will get stuck. Keisler has informed me that TREMEC had a 'problem' when they built the transmission with the internal rails and the 'dogs' that control all of this. ( poor parts procurement?)
So TREMEC is offering to replace the parts that cause the mis-shift. I am in the process of getting them the ID tag info off of the transmission so they can make a determination on how to proceed.
Keisler has also offered to go through my transmission at no cost to me if its determined that the noise I have been complainng about is internal and not something like a throwout bearing or pilot bearing.
All very interesting.

Did they offer to come to your house and do the hard work like take it out and reinstal?
These company's have some nerve charging top $$ for junk!!!!

Keisler actually told me that TREMEC would pay for a few hours worth of labor. I have not yet put this in my post because I did not have full details.. but I will let you know as I learn more info.
