At some point they tried Borg Warner T-10 or "rock crushers" since NHRA was letting offbrands use the aluminium Chrysler boxes.




I always thought that to be true until Ronnie told mne otherwise that they never used anything but 833's until lenco in late 72.
the lenco improved everyone's ET except Ronnie's

"I didn't like the Lenco thing too much," Ronnie recalls now, "because I felt it was taking some of my advantage away. In fact, I could run quicker with the four-speed than with the Lenco when they first came out. But Chrysler made us put it back in there because they were afraid NHRA would outlaw the Lencos. There were a lot of other racers who were missing shifts and tearing their cars up with the sticks, and Chrysler thought it would be better for a lot of the other racers if the Lencos were part of it. That was one reason they were trying to do it; it was easier on the cars. We had very little breakage; Jake (King) and Dave (Christie) and those guys kept our stuff in great shape."
