Thx for the offer Greg - I have a recall tach, but no play back function.


We got a race in this weekend.

Weather was perfect, till the sun went down anyways then it got cold> burrrrr

Anyways no probems, the gear change turned out fine.
There was virtually no change in ET's going from 557s' to 513's - the rpms were down to 7100 at the stripe so mission accomplished there.

On a good note: I ended up winning first place in the little bucks race.
I passed on the high rollers $5000 footbrake race.

I did the math with the new data and I'm still coming up with around 17% converter silppage, which was no surprise.

What's the best plan of action now. Replace or fix?

It's a Transmission specialties 8 inch 5800 rpm spragless.


Do I need to send it back to T/S or will a local place like BTE or TCI be able to fix it?
Also, what about the cost? How much am I looking at here?


Mine seems to be working fine other than the excessive slippage, sure has me in a pickle.


Thx again, Cp
