Me likes it.. Best thing I ever did was to trade my $4000.00+ Pro Trans Super Duper Torqueflight back to Dave Smith for a Mikes Glide.. That was back in 1994.. The results were immediate.. You will notice the Pro Trans is covered up.. 3rd race with the Glide and got a Wally.. Wound up #2 in Division 5.. And I'm not bashing Pro Trans at all.. Best T/F builders in the business.. Dave is the absolute best.. The Glide has just worked better for me.. Chris.. 8146167-BandimereWin.jpg (65 downloads)

"300M is a low alloy, vacuum melted, steel of very high strength. Essentially it is a modified AISI 4340 steel with silicon, vanadium and slightly more carbon and molybdenum. 300M has a very good combination of strength at 1930�2100 MPa (280-305 ksi), toughness, fatigue strength and good ductility. It is a through hardening alloy." R. Last edited by dogdays; 05/20/14 01:32 PM.

Went to the steel front hub from a truck trans. Second pass after THAT fix, it broke the input shaft. Ok, maybe it was weakened. Put another input in there and it lasted 3 passes. Ponied up for the high dollar input shaft and then it broke the OUTPUT shaft. That was the LAST run my car EVER made with a 727 Monte

Had enough in that damn 727 to have built 3 good glides.........Plus, couldn't get the converter I wanted, brakes were slow, clean neutral was an issue, hated the blanket, plus it was freaking HEAVY. I FINALLY snapped out of it........LOL!!! Monte
