This widely known defect will definitely not suit your 8k shifting in a complementary way; if you're buying new, this I would take as a pisser. I do not really want a T56 either (or a clutch, for that matter), and this particular defect has made me consider the Nissan CD009 as an alternative (when my 6l80 says f-u) . . .
Perhaps you are the guy to bring to market an easy fix for the lighter Tremec without the pointless extra overdrive.

I have had the TKO under my work bench for a few years. I know some people who love them and have heard a bunch of people on the internet that hate them. It seems like the mustang crowd likes them ok and the Chevy guys don’t. To me the T56 is just way too heavy and dyno test show they rob about 15 hp over a TKO. I’m going to try it out with Dexton fluid and see how it goes. Worse case is I put some super duty gears in my T5 or get the carbon / Kevlar synchros for the TKO or turn it into a dog box.
