yeah, i'm REAL slow...since there's maybe 2 other members here on this site that know my times....hell, i havn't even gotten a good time with the new cam so who knows....but yeah, i'm slow. see ya at the SBSO.

 

This thread has been chopped all to heck, now please stay on topic and take the personal stuff to PM/email.

PM me if you want to cuss me out or whatever.

 

And now ... for an on topic post:

What broke on the tranny, was it a shaft or are the clutches slipping? Supposedly, I have the best input shaft/drum setup you can get with the best reaction shell (better than the beast), it's the clutches and band I'm worried about.

 

Thanks XLR8NSS, I get tired of the message board BS sometimes.....

Not really sure what broke, but from the last 4 that have broken I am guessing panetarys....I will know more in the next week and I will keep you all posted on the billet stuff, I know know much about it at this point. It was something that was mentioned to me @ the track and is just talk until I see proof.

 

Hmm .... yea .. big thanks to the BS deletion. It gets old.

Brian .. keep us updated on what you find out. I wanna know. I may reconsider getting those 5 pinion planetaries when/if I get it torn down to check the clutches, if it makes it that far.

 

I dont have any gears, the trans sounds like a wet bucket of bolts

I have nuked the 5 pinions three times....but you all have to remember that was on slicks and a hard launch.

 

Were they GM or aftermarket planetaries? I've read that the aftermarket ones that claim to be stronger aren't.

 

They were GM's......

 

Get a price on a Hughes transmission from Summit you can get a built 4L80E for around $2500 exchange,then get the conversion harness from Speartech.

 

If I cant get too the bottom of a strong 4L60-E then that is the route I will be taking......I just feel that there is more out there for the 60 and I just have to find it. I will wait to see what these folks have to say about the billet parts they are talking about and I will go from there.
