wait until you see his new tranny set for next year. its off the HOOK!!!!

 

The problem with the auto, it has the same type of gears as the manual and they will still break. The GM stuff is cool cause its like clutches, not gears.

 

You can go veyr veyr fast on stock Honda Trans...has your car run a 9 yet?

 

http://www.levelten.com these guys are the ones that builds the trannies for CRAWFORD/*** Mopar NEON. CRAWFORD has been on the same axles (driveshaftshop) for 2 full seasons and not too sure on how many runs on the tranny but i know for a fact its alot. these trannies cost about $3500 an di have one for my PRO-FWD Eclipse

 

Save your self the hassle of dealing with Leven 10. Just by the HPsuperkit from ALTO friction. They build the stuff for them.

Its the same parts, even in the level 10 bags for way cheaper. Less than half of what 10 wanted.

I run an Auto trans in my Colt now, I like it alot more than the 5 speed. I built a switching set up to shift the trans without the TCU unit so I can shift at what ever rpm I want and its allways shifts hard as hell.

The real expense right now is the torque converters, I paid 800 bucks for a billet converter, they build the inside assemblie for the purpose of drag racing instead of bending fins and trimming stators to give you a higher stall.

I had a modified stock converter at first and the new one puts like 60 hp more to the wheels because of the slip.

dude!!! you got a web site for that company.what rpm stall is your converter. and what RPM are you launching?? i'm in the process of putting a trans brake in mine.

 

ALTOusa.com I believe. I just picked up the complete kit for 320 shipped two days. Thats everything needed to rebuild a trans using the Red frictions and Kolene steels.

The tranny is really very simple to rebuild if you can turn a wrench. I did mine. I also got a shft kit from Translab, you need that too..

My converter is built by Precision Industies, it stalls about 3500 rpm just stepping on it, then as it builds boost it get to about 5200-5500. I use a 50 shot to spool the turbo quick, the turn it off at 15psi normally.

Precision's site is converter.com, its under the dragon converter line.
My converter is really mild right now but they build it to stall how ever you want. Since I'm the first DSM auto to run a 9 sec pass, the demand isnt that great yet for a super high stall yet.
But I'll send mine back this winter and maybe raise it up a little

Who built the transbrake???? i havent seen one before for the DSM trans???

 

Wait till you see the Lenco tranny we've designed for fwd hot rod hondas! Can anybody say air shifted and never break

 

Hey Tony, i thought air-assisted trannys were illegal in Hot-Rod.

 

So are Lenco's, this year...

 

can't wait finally the end to my woes.

 

I think this new tranny will take fwd's to the next level. You are talking about the Rob Moore one right, Tony1 ? Only thing is it's gonna be hard to compete for those who dont have $15k-$20k(which I think is totally worth it) to spend on a transmission.

 

No, not the rob moore. This was designed by Bob Norwood and built by his machinist. Nobody has seen it except a select few arturbo...

 

there goes the hopes down the drain for the low budget racers

 

im giving up....

Its bad ***!

art

 

I wanna see it....

 

so i guess the Hot Rod class and the Pro FWD class are going to pretty much be the same. I don't think that trans is going to be legal in the NDRA series.

 

HEY TONY!!!! you also forgot to mention that its mated to a ford 9" rear. and yeah. the trannies is off the hook. sucks Kenny can't run his car until next season. i heard it was done and RADO's car was guarenteed to be the 1'st in the 7's

 

Actually, the pro fwd is mated to a 9", the hot rod uses an oem style diff. And i don't know who guaranteed Rado to be the first in the 7's, but his new car will be very different from anything out there right now! I will guarantee 7's, but i'm sure someone will run one before the new car is ready. Bob and I are working with chris next weekend and we're shooting for that 7 second slip!
