[QUOTE="NY04snake, post: 5990596, member: 25658"] see those are the type of assumptions I'm not sure you are correct about. A dragstrip trani, depending on how extreme you go and you mentioned some sort of "level" that means nothing to me, in some cases will not downshift as easy as a stock one. That is because it is setup to do one thing upshift, many times power upshifts and that is at the expense of drivability on the street. did you buy a track setup and now you are not happy on the street with it or did they sell you a street setup that can handle some track passes? What fluid did you use in it, because the wrong fluid can have a tremendous negative effect on shiftabilty, did you use Royal Purple or another super premium synthetic? Did you add modifier or was it included in the trani lube? Like another fellow said, did a new shifter get added into the mix because incorrect adjustment of stops can also cause issues that are hard to diagnose. You reused the flywheel without resurfacing, well that could lead to hot spots and very jinky shifts that either get progressively worse or better depending on how hot you make the flywheel. If Kevin drives it on the street and thinks it is acceptable and if he can get it into gear OK, maybe you have to relearn how you need to shift this new piece. You do realize most of the special built trani's require lengthy break-ins and don't shift smooth until they have dozens of HARD drag passes under their belt. The stock T-56 is extremely forgiving and easy to drive on the street so possibly what you needed was a completely stock rebuild, not a modded style trani, I dunno but you might have to re-align your expectations, but without driving it I'm only guessing. I do know that I was asked to jump into another fellows Cobra at the track who could not for the life of him get 3 shifts in one pass and I powershifted without issue and bested his time by over a 1/2 sec, then he listened to me, started being more methodical, developed a routine to hit the gears and then slowly began speeding his routine up until he was shifting pretty good. I'm not saying you don't have a problem but it sounds like you don't want anybody to tell you there is nothing wrong because that might mean you have to work on a driver mod? Listen I'm a racer, not a trani guy. I battled with my own clutch setup so I learned some tricks but you really need a Pro, just be willing to listen to him. Good luck there dude, I hope you get it sorted out! :beer: call him: 732-904-9000 I trusted him with a $3500 full race 9 Moser SRA build. [/QUOTE]
