Transmission Rotating Weight

[TCC5]

Which transmission has the least amount of rotating weight? Bert,Brinn,Falcone etc.

..............

Anyone????

The Brinn tranny is prob going to be the most supported, Brinn is very supported as far as rebuildabilty, I am not sure what everybody else will say, but they all are similar when it comes to cost and dependabality.

IF i AM THE DRIVER, I WOULD prefer the brinn over most.

think its peanuts in the scheme of things, there all going to be close, I've heard the 2nd gen bert has very little rotating weight in high, alot have went to the falcon too, but i don't think there is much difference in high gear, you would have to be on a chassis dyno and try them all to see, i would be very surprised if it was over 2-3 hp difference in them all

2nd gen bert

Ive done no testing but i have rebuilt both and i would have to agree with cchief but i know their are some"crate" transmissions out their that are lighter yet

I would agree, the 2nd gen Bert doesn’t have a lot rotating in high gear. Virtually straight shot threw. Has just enough turning to splash lube bearings.

Do any of the transmission places offer REM polishing (bearings and gears), or lower drag bearings?

Not that there's a whole lot of resistance with a couple bearings, but if you're wanting to squeak the most out of it, this would be another avenue...

I'm sure one of them would sell you what you want, but i don't think it will be the difference of winning or losing, i would look to spend your money somewhere else

very good advice grt........

i agree with grt

AmickRacing, you could try hightower transmissions as he did/does a lot REM and low friction stuff.

To the OP: Define what your looking for on lowest rotating wieght?

1. 2 products can have equal rotating weights but be completely different in acceleration rates due to diameter of said mass.
2. Also due to diameter or friction losses, one may have less rotating weight but still take longer to accelerate or rob more power.
3. Also there are times where I DON'T want the lowest rotating weight, again goes back to application

But as others have said, pretty sure it's the 2nd gen Bert.

billet , that no. 3 can be confusing to people , but it is like running a super light crank shaft , some times a heavier crank helps an inexperienced driver tremendously in the slick.......

Im surprised someone like Hightower hasn't gotten into dlm's with some of their lightweight trans, maybe even 3 or 4 speed! Any thoughts???
