Yeah,

Unfortunatly, with the extra speed, my tranny was slipping all over the place. Nothing wrong with the tranny, just needs a Transgo Shift Kit.

Next on the list. a must have. will knock another 2 tenths off and it's only 100 bucks.

Call me stupid, but what does a shift kit do? I figure it...shifts...but how does that help you?

 

Ok, ready.

The new transmissions have no belts. They use oil pressure forced through valves in order to shift the gears. Similar to how a shock works, with the fluid squeezing through the valves.

On stock auto trans, they valve your tranny so that it slips when it shifts. This is to provide a nice comfortable shift so that the old people don't complain. This is also not good for your tranny. The more slippage, the quicker the clutches wear out.

The shift kit replaces the valves with valves that have smaller holes. The kit comes with several different sizes so you can choose how tight and fast your tranny shifts and how little slippage you want.

The less slippage, the quicker the shift and the better for your tranny.

My brothers has his set up for the quickest shifts, and his dodge snaps your head back every time it shifts. The shift, even under full throttle with nitrous, happens so fast that no human being in the world can shift a manual trans as fast. This is, again, why almost ALL pro's race with auto's and not manuals. An auto with a shift kit can shift 150 times faster than a manual, even with the best driver at the wheel.

and, of course, every time you shift (take your foot off the gas to disengage the clutch) you lose valuable time, regardless of how fast of a shifter you think you are.

The shift kit is going to give me whiplass at every shift and shave 2 tenths off my time...guarantee'd.

yea, shift kits a kewl............I had one in my last truck(99 f-150, 4.6 auto) i had a few other things done to it..........It doesnt matter bc I totaled it with only 22,000 miles.

 

you silly boy. Let me guess, the accident was someone elses fault right?

Tom

 

no, all me...............86 on a wet road. I learned about a little thing called HYDROPLANE............is that spelled right???you get the idea.

 

Usually, now correct me if I'm wrong, but a good pair of matched tires would have prevented this....ya' think?

 

no............the road has really bad grooves in it from big trucks, Ive been driving on that road all my life, u have to stradle the ruts and i slipped off in them. nothing I could do, that road is so bad that the state trooper didnt even give me a ticket bc he said everytime it rains somebody wrecks........

 

Probably a good road to steer clear of.

 

Havent been on it since

 

Shane, I'm eager to race you man. I want to see how close we are in a race. I know you are faster, but still, I'd like to know.

 

Who's Shane? Could that be the actual name of Strick88??? Mr. Mystery Man himself has finally released his name to the public. If your feet were here I would bow to you and kiss them all mighty one.

Tom
