Has anyone run a Pro shifted or faceplateed 833 on a road course. I have a good Pro shifted trans from Drag racing just wondered if I can use it on a road course.

I've never driven either, but I would think coming in and out of corners on/off the throttle would be hard on either. With proshifting is every other tooth ground off in the slider also? If not, it might have an advantage. If yes, I think faceplated is better 11/10 times drive

The road race sliders in my G Force GF5R have similar spacing between the dogs (teeth on the slider) as the Liberty's Gears face plated a-833 in my GTS. Aside from noise you should not have any issue. I would think the face plated box would be the only one that could survive from an an endurance standpoint, especially with downshifting. Are you having trouble racing with a syncro'd box? If it was my car and the rules allowed it I'd move into a G-Force 101a. Much stouter platform and you can choose your ratios. The one piece cluster gear in the a833 makes it a bit less robust for racing as well.

Just asking as I have the trans thinking about the future if I could use it.

What car do you have a G Force GF5R trans in ?

Practice up on heel/toe shifting.

FWIW: We didn't do either on the vintage TransAm cars we restored & crewed; we just fussed over the normal details.
Granted, that may be a somewhat different environment than what the OP is doing.
