QUOTE(r_towle @ Mar 21 2003, 03:33 PM) I am close to understanding this...please forgive my ignorance here, I have only done motors, never doen a tranny. So I have three side shifters, and a tail shifter. I am going to do this to a "spare" side shifter... When I get going, I will take a pic of two and ask my dumb questions. Brad, I am flipping the fifth Drive gear with the Third Drive gear??? Or the fifth drive with the third driven... Or aaaarrrrggggg... Rich (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Rich, I just did this, so it's fresh on my mind. What you are doing is swapping both complete sets for each other. I don't know about the 3rd to 5th swap, that might be too low for the street. But the 5th to 3rd drops 3rd down closer to 2nd. With that, you would be better off dropping 4th down a liitle too, IMHO. The 5th is on one cluster and 3rd is on another cluster. Except for the gear sizes, these clusters look/work the same. When you install the gear from 5th into the 2nd-3rd cluster, it's in the same position realtive to the cluster as it was before. Except, it's upside down, hence the reverse diagonal cut. Hope that's clear as trans fluid. None of this makes much sense unless you are racing the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
