i have a 31 spline 8.8 with auburn, im not worried about it hehehe
yeah im already considering the expensive and time consuming project of a different transmission, even though the T2 has not failed, i cannot get a yoke for it that can take it, and if i do...then it might be next....the only trans i would consider would be the t56 or TKO600 with the high 5th gear OD, that way i can launch WOT and finally get my 30mpg highway

i was also considering the toyota r154 but those are starting to become rare these days
if i use a domestic trans i can get parts and beefy yokes for it
