As I understand it from reading on here and other forums RevTech, and Baker are made at the same place in Korea, I am sure that they use their own spechs but the same people are building them, and I doubt their only 8 years old!!
I think now RecTech offers the same warenty as Baker.

We all get the same gas mileage and I shift one less gear. I saved about $2K that went into some motor mods. They would do the same if they had it to do over.
The SE is not 1:1....it is 8.9:1 or something close to that. I know it lowers my RPMs by about 400 when running in 6th.

Default Don't buy RevTec - Bakers work first tiime

Simple - Bakers work first time. Heads up to anyone going to buy a RevTec 6 speed gear set - they are ****, I just went through putting two different ones in my 2004 FLH, the first one would pop out of 4th gear at 4200RPM so my certified shop call Rev Tec they sent another shifter fork for 4th gear - pull trans for a second time, exact same thing. Sent the trans back to RevTec they work on it sent it back put it in for the third time, exact same thing 4200RPM in forth gear and it pops out. This product is a waste of time and money; even my shop will not sell or install them anymore. I feel RevTec owes my shop money for labor they spent trying to fix RevTecs’ problem and **** product.
