We haven't seen a need for shift forks but I may be missing something?

Thanks,

I don't think you are missing anything, I'm just looking at factors that may be something that hasn't come up yet. Most of the individuals needing better transmissions are running fairly high horsepower and no one has enough R&D on these transmissions with that amount of horsepower yet to see the full effects. I have heard that if you are hard shifting during a race event with high power running through the gears that the shift forks can see some abuse and the oem piece isn't really designed for that as you know. I believe Jacks Transmissions has developed and sells a shift fork for 3-4. Just something to think about is all as a complete package. You know me, I wouldn't steer you wrong lol.
