Default Finally ran some nines.

I ran 9.83@152 & 9.76@151 this past weekend. Funny thing is, they weren't good passes and I am having a problem with the car not putting down the power in 3rd and 4th that i haven't had time to fool with yet. The car is just really working on the short times. It would have went alot faster but i started having tranny issues. I am very excited to finally get my short times down. It looks like it will be going much faster soon.

i thought something was broken, but i just got it apart and somehow the 3rd/4th slider is rounded pretty good. when i couldn't get it in 4th i thought it was broke. i haven't figured that one out yet.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by miller &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">congrats man, its well deserved

i have said it before and i will say it again. i bought the liberty to have clutchless shifting, not for durability. the mfactory gears work fine for someone on budget. i had an opportunity to run up my credit card, so i jumped on it. besides, mfactory makes more parts than just gears.

Mfactory makes more than just gearsets so it is possible to still be sponsored by them.


Congrats man. Just ignore the haters. Envy will do strange thing to people

Finally! Congrats on the PB's Danny

Could you send me a mail when you get the chance

P.S Might be time to reconsider the idea of putting our box back in, and keeping the Liberty as a backup

No. I solved my shifting problems with the MFactory. The problem was two fold. I had to add another motor mount to the front of the engine when using the g-force shifter because the engine was still moving a bit. Then, trying to full throttle shift, I was jamming the syncros quicker than I was getting the clutch released. I changed to a 3/4" clutch master cylinder and it shifted perfect.

the slip was:
60' 1.63
330' 4.35
1/8 6.45
mph 116
1000' ?
1/4 9.76
mph 151
