Racing application. Who is using a gated shifter? Which one? Do you like it? Is it worth the expense? I've been fighting with shifting issues.. like finding 2nd when looking for 4th. Last episode ended with broken rocker arms. I've adjusted and replaced everything from the shifter to the solid trans mounts. It will do fine and then all of a sudden I've found second instead of 4th which results in a over rev. I have concentrated on my shifting and can't find a correlation to what causes this to happen. Any suggestions would be appriciated.
Thank you David |

Randall I use to think that the binding was in the tranny itself. But subsequent testing and some design changes to my shifting system led me to the conclusion that the binding is at the bushing at the firewall.
What's moving and/or flexing to cause this is still a matter of debate (I'm not sure myself, though I think in the case of lesser G force induced binding it is likely soft mounts) Whatever the case may be I think it is relative movement between the chassis and the drive train causing the link to bind at the firewall bushing, not in the tranny itself (it about has to be one or the other). |
