Well I solved my trans shifting problems.
I just destroyed the tranny, slips so bad right now had to turn 5000rpm just to pull it into the yard. 
funny thing is that with the tranny slipping that bad today I still got first in modified and 4th in open class, wonder whats gonna happen when I finally get a tranny in this thing that actually works. Dang wish I hadn't bought that block last month could have used that for a new tranny oh well, I suppose selling blood is an option.

I was there, and he was still running good even with the tranny screwing up like usual.
Sad part is, he put in a second seat. Worst part is, he told me it was so he could take me for a ride and show me how it REALLY feels. That..in referrence to my not making it out of the stall of his old converter.....in first gear....
I'm not looking forward to next races, though. July will NOT be friendly sitting on that hill.

Um I already have one of those, and no I ain't investing in a toploader, it's hard enough to shift fast enough, I don't see myself going through 4 gears in under 4 seconds in a manual trans.

Well I guess the first part of a plan should involve the old lady and a street corner. 
But I doubt that will happen sooooooo.
Well the plan would be to buy a tranny already built and bolt it in, but funds won't allow for that, so I have a spare trans from a 79 F150, gonna gut it, full roller conversion, alto clutches, Rcode servo, E intermediate lever and whatever other mods I need to handle 1000hp, probably call broader performance and see what he can put together for a kit so I don't have to waste my time finding the individual pieces, then just build a new one.

Sounds good. Jay should be able to set you up with a matched package that'll do you right. Sounds like you've got all the right components in mind. I always got sick of fiddeling with the auto too, but its the only way to go for mudrags. As smooth as I have my 435 setup, I predict a jam between 2nd and 3rd somtime this season costing me a race. Ah well, thats why its primarily a mudbogger. So, how much you charging for the old lady?

Yea, 150' isn't far but my motor spins up so fast I have to shift. I've never tried starting out in 3rd low, I'll have to see what thats like beforehand. Because your right, the 3-4 is a piece of cake its the 2-3 that has to be nailed exactly right.
Personally, I think Rob just needs a pneumatic shifter like the ferrari's have

i did the math one time and it was like a 1% speed loss in 3rd gear and 1.5-2% loss in 4th.. seems to be a bit better holeshot in low though. you've got alot more motor though so it may be a 'bit' harsher on things.. not that you'd ever do anything to abuse parts....
i concur on the airshifter though... maybe even the paddle shifter on the steering wheel?
