The only thing I would say is that you need to go straight into the gear. You can't really slide it in sloppy like a standard car. If that is what is being referenced then I get it, but otherwise ??? I love it and wouldn't see any need for mods. But others are some pretty trusted voices, so their opinion is valued.
This is kind of how these discussions typically go. Those that don't have modified TKO's say that after break-in they're OK and no modifications needed. But haven't tried a modified TKO. Others with modified TKO's (like me) say how nice they shift, but haven't used an unmodified version (also like me). It would be nice if someone had actually used both, but still the opinion is likely to be pretty subjective. For me it's a little bit of a no-brainer because Liberty Gears is local, a Tremec Elite distributor, and know exactly what is required for these builds including the tailpiece trimming. Pretty easy to go ahead and have them do the mods before picking it up.
