Looks smooth! I wanted a black one, but you get whatever comes cheapest! I've had mine for about 2 years on 15-18psi and never had any problems. Of course, 15psi on a t25 is nothing to brag on, and neither is 18 on a 14b, but it gets me around.
I'm really liking how that came out. Very nice! Here is mine I finished today. I am planning on bolting it up tomorrow! Red wrinkle ftw.

What are the build specs on the trans Chris?
I got my car started, the battery died since the car has sat since February so it was sitting on the charger for the last 24hrs. Surprised to see a pulse... Now that I know it starts () I'll be cleaning everything up and then start it to warm up the oil for a nice fresh 4.6qts of Shell Rotella 10w-30. Then it's off to the exhaust shop to get something fabricated to clear the tubular subframe I installed over the course of the last few weeks...
ITS ALIVE!

Was this recent or awhile ago? I bought my Shep in 2010 and was told the same but the more and more research I do it seems the paraffin in the lightweight kills the trans. I want to run what the builder recommends but I'm not sure if it's the right mix or not...For 600hp 2 qt light weight shockproof 1 qt mt90 as per trevor.

It's not just Jack, unfortunately. It's every DSM trans builder but Shep, ask Tim Z. (TMZPerformance) and TRE.Jack is the only one that said shockproof kills trans, i asked trevor at shep recently, bought my trans in summer 2012 and double checked this year. Still recommended light weight. It's possible they have made a provision to accommodate for this fluid..
REDLINE SHOCKPROOF There are concerns about using REDLINE SHOCKPROOF type gear oils inside manual transmissions. While this is truly an excellent product, it has been found that the heavy Teflon-like particles are quickly centrifuged out of the oil and will build up inside the center diff housing and around the synchronizers and inside of the gearshafts. After several oil changes this build up may block oiling passages inside the gearshafts that lubricate the needle bearings and can reduce the overall effectiveness of the synchronizers, leading to poor shift quality. Also this oil is has too high of a viscosity for winter use. Therefore we do not suggest using SHOCKPROOF in the transmission unless the transmission is to be serviced often or a dog box.
REDLINE 75W140 NS GL-5 Gear Oil. If your application requires a very slippery gear oil that will keep the gears and bearings from scuffing & spalling in a high torque application you may want to try REDLINE 75W140 NS GL-5 Gear Oil. It's one of the best that we know of but keep in mind that it may be too slippery for the synchros to work effectively at high rpm shifting.
Remember that proper viscosity is important when it comes to splash type lubrication; certain parts require enough viscosity so that the oil get thrown far enough so please check out the viscosity chart and choose an oil for the operation temperatures of your transmission.
