You can keep going smaller until your clutch is toast or you cut 1.5 sec lights because you're waiting for the clutch pedal to come up. lol

because thats exactly what your picture looks like.
im well aware of what the tilton valve is, does and how it does it. thanks

The pic is just a pic of a valve that looks similar (as already stated) The control valve i have works in the same way as the tilton without the need to take it apart and change orifices.
They are basically a metering valve and check valve in one.

I just did a quick research and the hydraulic fcv's I found sound like they only meter the hydraulic fluid if you could give us a link of one that is only one direction metering that would be great. One could be built very easily for about $40 with a hydraulic check valve with t's on both sides with a hard nitrous line and a jet going from one t to the other and you would have more adjustability, just a thought if someone doesn't want to spend the money.

Maybe Tony, Full-race or anyone can start making this FCV for us that is more reasonable price that would be great. It does not mean trying to save your driveline components i.e axles, clutch, transmission etc. that a company can make a part that maybe save these parts from breaking have to charge this much. It is way over priced IMO just my .02

i've researched the options on the FCV. I've looked into other possible ways to make this work or to manufacture a similar part in the past. But for the amount of people that were interested in using this type of stuff was VERY small compared to now. It wasnt even a good investment to start out a production on a piece that very few would be interested in. Alot dont even know it exist and the ones that have heard about it, not all really know exactly what it does. $170 may sound a bit much for a tiny part, but the fact that it works, its proven, and its easy to use makes it worth the money in the long run. Its one of those parts that you know it will help you, its worth the money.

Can you try and maybe think of making this part now that most people are familiar w/ this valve?

when we first started using the Tilton Valve back in 2006 we were running it with OEM GSR Gearsets

I run one. Ive played with all the pills... I was hoping it would help me keep from breaking H boxes (due to shock). It didnt... My gears are breaking under power... Not on shifts. Different flavors too...

Broke my Saenz box with the medium pill in it (WHich DID happen on a shift)... Im running a CC twindisk, and Ive rebuilt the Saenz and am Trying it out again...

Surely cant wait till PPG gets the H dogs done so they can get our syncroed sets started...


I agree... Way overpriced though







Start with the smallest if your seriously worried about breaking ****
