We broke second gear in the trans first pass sat. We went ahead and ran it shifting from first to third and got a 8.72 @ 169.5. I thinks its time for a glide.

Taner is the only guy I know that comes to the race just to show off how fast he can change a tranny.

As for video we are working on it.

lmao!!! spare clutch, the trans was a loaner i had just picked up from Liberty's for a friend.

it was nice to have just in case i didn't drive 14 hrs to sit on the sidelines ya know

that was the last frickin thing i wanted to do!

brady get off the computer and into the garage

i should call Speed TV to see if they are interested in a Transmissions masters challenge. sorta like Engine masters, but with junkies like myself who can yank a trans in about 30 minutes with some help of course!

G Force = no the $2800 invested in their **** parts sit on the bottom shelf of my bench, some day shiny metals will be worth something. they were cryo'ed and mikronited.
