Just for background, was the upgrade a repair or is this the first time ever for the tranny in a car? To THO users, does this tranny break in at all and improve with time?
Its in Norway? Ouch.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Mine was bone stock as Tremec built it and high rpm shift quality sucked. Period.
It never 'broke in' like promised.
Light throttle casual driving it shifted like butter, but when I got on it and the RPMs were up, it was like trying to shift without a clutch
The T56 I have now shifts great at any RPM

Running GM synchromesh witch is recomended by Tremec
GM Synchromesh is what's generally recommended in the TKO running bronze...not Carbon Fiber, I believe you've been misinformed by either Keisler or Tremec
When running the Carbon Fiber rings, Syncromesh is ONLY recommended for extremely hot climates, in cold climate use with Carbon Fiber rings, generally synthetics are to be avoided....either Amsoil ATF or Dextron III (Tremecs recommendation) is used, Redline D4ATF is a good all climate choice with Carbon Fiber rings (although Tremec won't endorse it, many TKO guys run it)....IMHO, and a decade+ of running/installing Keisler/TKO products, your fluid choice is the root cause of your problems, that's why I asked you initially what fluid your running
FYI...IIRC, Keisler still outsources the carbon fiber upgrade done to the TKO

Up to this date. I've never seen a TKO600 shifted fast at high rpm.
If anyone ever has or seen it. Prove it here with an in car video. I hear the 500's are not much better.

I have a Brand new Tremec TKO 600 that's been upgraded with Carbonfiber blocker rings for better high RPM shift quality,this job got done by Keisler before I got the transmission. My problem is that it grinds when i shift from 3rd to 4th and downshifting from 5th to 4th Even in low RPM. What can the problem be?
Please help.
Did you dial in the bell housing?
