Transmission Rotating Weight

[ZERO25]

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???

Hmmmmm, no takers! Must have some of ya thinkin! lol

I'm not sure why no one has eliminated the trans completely from the back of the engine, and incorporated it in the reaend housing.

Planetary in input shaft, or behind quick change gears for low and reverse, with in/out coupler for direct.

Production Corvettes have had trans with drive axle for some time.

Would fix that need for push truck with sprints as well.

Might be too good an idea?

At some point the car advances in technology past the point of its intended purpose. Are we building F1 cars for dirt or are we trying to preserve the intent of production cars?

hightower has had at least one of his trans in a high-end crate car before. a few laps after a start/restart, the driver would shift into 3rd gear. i was told the trans was around $10k.

If you have a super DLM,or a open to the rules Mod.it doesen't matter what trans,you are going to use.Now on the other hand if your running a Crate or limited Mod.,you better have the Bert Sec. Gen.

The Brinn and Falcon,are copies of the Bert.

Im thinking more along the lines of shifting gears on restarts.

I recently watched an emod, with a standard gm 3 speed, kill a good field of amods on restarts!

Hightower builds some trick lightened 3 and 4 speeds! Asphalt mods have been using them for years!
