Hey guys, I'm thinking of buying a fox body and I went to look at it today and the guy had a sheet of mods and one thing was a Tremec tranny but he didn't know what kind it was. Then he told me that it pops out of reverse a lot and that tremecs are known for this. Is this true and how is it fixed?

"popping" out of reverse isnt good. But I do know that a common problem is that it will not go in reverse. Even a brand new stock one will have that problem. Normally all you do is go to 5th than reverse. Problem solved.


Now if it is a PERFORMANCE tremec i.e TKO products than it POPPING out isnt good.

My tranny would pop out of 2nd gear. That was caused by the clutch fork being broke. You might want to test drive the car and just run it through the gears. Especially with a "slight load" on it. If it pops out of gear especially when you release the clutch than be forewarned that you will need to either get the tranny rebuilt or just buy a new one.
