running a saginaw in a mod up's and down's
ok ive ben doing alot of looking into this i know the brinn tranny is the best but i do not have $1500 to fork out right now on one this will be my first year in a imca mod and i also race street stock so i plan on raceing the mod with the 3speed tranny cause i already have them and a $600 clutch kit thats pretty much new so here is my car set up05 grt 4link ford floater bsb bird cages spring slider behind lr shock in front spring slider in front rr shock behind running a 90/10 shock with a toqr link with 700lb to 1500lb progesiv spring solid motor mountsi was told that a 3speed will not work but ive seen post and cars for sale with them so i say it will work till i get fundings to get a raceing tranny my plan after ive looked at other sites i took my tranny draind all fluids and stood it stright up took side cover off and took the tail shaft out then removed the casing the shaft was only splind up to 4 1/2 inches then about 1 1/2 inches past the splines there was a hump in the shaft stoping the 8inch yoke from travling the whole way in so i took the shaft and had it put on a metal lathe and turnd it down just enouf so that the yoke could get full travel and now it does put it all back together and put tranny in car now i need to get the right length drive shaft for the car i got the 8inch yoke but how much of that yoke should i let stick in the tail shaft so i can get my drive shaft lenght my car sits with 7degree pinon angle i just need a good idea on how much the yoke should be sticking in the trans so i can get the drive shaft orderd and my yoke is the new style 8inch that is hollow the whole way threw so if its gonna bottom out it will bottom out on the pat of the yoke where the u-joints go and hit the tranny case where the seal is not where the splines are sticking out the back of the tranny am i going the right rout with this just keep in mind this is about useing a saginaw so i need info on that part i will get a brinn or falcon latter down the road when the time comes thank you all
