With the power we are putting through the relatively stock 727, I pulled it out and inspected it this weekend. Keep in mind this is after hundreds of 1/4 mile passes and thousands of street miles.
Other than the normal dusting of gray material in the pan and some of the steels starting to show heat marks it looks really good inside!
There was nothing special about the clutches and steels as they were what comes in the normal Transtar rebuild kits! I believe the heat on the steels is from the 2nd gear launches we were doing for some hard street tire stuff and unprepped events.
The plan is to upgrade to Kolene steels and Alto Eagle red clutches and throw it back in the car.
As the car gets faster, preventative maintenance is going to have to be more frequent!
