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 |

QUOTE Maybe that is why my car don't break and it's about at the top of "it's " game. How's yours? . Pretty good I'd say. 5 wins a 2nd and a 3rd in FProd competition this year and first in SARRC points (my first full season of road racingBTW). We suffered our first failures Sunday at Barber when our stock fan exploded when taking the checkers in qualifying (first in class, first overall none-the-less). Fixed that and was driving away first overall in the race when an ignition box crapped out. We had no issues Sat and took the pole in the rain and first overall in the race also in the rain. Not to bad, I think, considering my first lap ever around the joint before qualifying was that morning on a bike. So yeah, we have our shit together. |

So yeah, we have our shit together. One's shit should be all in one place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Sounds like you're doing well. In a couole hundred AXs (2 drivers) I have had 2 electrical failures that caused me to miss passes over 8-9 years. I make no claim for having my shit together. Were I to say that, God would surely punish me. I consider myself lucky and the harder I work at it, the luckier I get so I'll keep skinning cats my way. |

I love it when dedicated AX guys with cars designed to stay in 2nd gear start talking shit about shifting. ...What? ...3rd gear about what once or twice a year? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) And have you ever used 4th or 5th gear? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
Track driving that many of us in the Paddock have expereince with subject cars to much more stress. Shfits in one long track weekend easily go over what a typical AX driver in properly setup AX car would see in 2 years of full schedule of events with 2 drivers.
