Calimer tore the trans back down on Monday. Well as suspected 4th gear broke. I don't know how or why a Calimer stage 2 with less than 1200 miles is already in pieces behind a naturally aspirated car that makes less than 450 rwhp. I was told that the broken gear went through the trans and damaged everything. They even said that the input shaft was twisted. I am guessing that a piece of broken gear became wedged somewhere and bound up the gears causing the twist. I asked for pictures and still have not received them. It looks like a Tremec is in my future. I can't see paying Calimer for another build after this experience. Well on the bright side I will probably have an almost new MGW X-Spec standard length installed for less than 1200 miles and a Steeda 1 piece aluminum drive shaft for sale soon.
