Option 3 was a success! I am very happy with this mod. Thanks for the tip linc!

The truck has never run so quiet, which tells me there is no more gear on gear grinding inside the tranny. The truck is so silent, even at WOT, that it is hard to believe it's a FLUX.

After 6 runs, I opened up the tranny, and there are zero signs of gear wear. Only down side I can see to this mod is I will need to totally seal up the tranny to keep the lube from seeping out. Those high RPMs fling that stuff so hard that it even slides past the bearings. Pictures tell the story.

I cleaned it up and sealed the top half to the bottom half after taking these pics. Next time I break it down, I'll look into sealing the bearings into the holders and onto the gear shafts. That should prevent the lube from sliding past the bearings, but will not hender the bearings from doing thier job.
