What gear ratio is in the trans you keep breaking is it a 2:65 or a 2:44
I've broken the 2.65, 2.44 and a 3.09 boxes. All this crap about flex and not power shifting third is just that. Crap.
If you are breaking the gearbox your clutch is doing it. Most guys can run LESS than a 1000 pounds of static and tune with some counter weight and never break 3rd gear.
Yep, the clutch is the problem. I always like the RPM's to go up when I power shift instead of dropping. Really helps lower you ET . And also, the smell of the burning clutch disc is such a wonderful aroma. And for you guy's that are going to have a hole cut in your scatter shield, don't forget to do the floor also as that's how you get at the pressure plate at the top of the transmission.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
