I do understand that the transmission breaks and naturally assume that the gears are breaking from what I have read and heard along with final drives. What other parts are breaking?>

I was wanting know what the T4 cars and the hotrod cars are doing to fight this.
I thought about cryo for the gear sets and final drives and that seems logical but wouldnt that place more stress on the case? How effective would this actually be in these cars? How about completely different gearsets?( liberty $$$$)

Is it the syncros that are not slowing the actual gear down enough to make the change from lets say first to second? Could there be a different material or maybe a coating that would alter the properties that could slow it down soon enough for the gear change or is it simply the power that is breaking the parts?

I know breakage is going to happen but I would like to do as much as I can to prevent if possible.

Thnx
Nick

 

not much to can do really stock tranny wise other than lsd and the phatom grip bracket that hold the sets to together. aftermarket trannys are very very baller$$$$$$$$

 

yeah I know that the aftermarket tranies are baller. Way to baller for me but do you think that cryo gears would work or maybe different material on the synchros

 

you can cryo-treat the tranny internals and their is a special lubricant coating you can have applied to the internals,but i dont know how much it actually helps.

 

the fastest guys in sfwd/t4 mainly run oem stock gears and FD. Lift and shift as they say...

 

who lifts when they shift art i know i dont hehe that why i guess i can be in vmp this weekend due to my tranny blowing and locked in 3 gear heheh
if you plan on make any kinda power just start goin out and looking for extra tranys to stock up on. i just got 3 more tranny's this week hehehe for $400

 

Its not worth it not to lift...

 

yeah thats my plan right now but with the shortage of B series trannies its getting more expensive!

Is it cost that prohibits it or is it just not that effective? Or has people really not had that much experiance with it?

what do you mean?

 

if you look hard enough you can find tranny's for cheap just got to look i just picked up 3 tranny's 2 gsr and 1 b16 for $400 2 of them need new snycros but that only like $300 for me. i got 5 trannys now heheh just got to rerbuild a few and ill be ready for the track again

 

Thnks for the input, looks like Ill need to start snagging trannies as back ups.

 

I have a gearspeed tranny with a 5.0 final drive. i love it. i can dog the **** outa it all the time. i deliver chinese food with it and i have ripped out a ys1 tranny(blew the lsd apart) so i bought this one so it doesnt break anymore. i like the way it feels. and it has a chrome case

 

Doesn't really seem like Jason and Brian "lift and shift", but maybe I can't tell from the videos! Their one-two shifts don't even allow the front shocks to recompress...

 

lift and shift huh sounds great

I know someone has had to have done this before, this is H-T. Maybe people will chime in some more when they get back from VA

 

It's all about shifting fast and not 'hard'.
