Gone...

[93coupett]

is the Jerico. Shipped it back to Jerico yesterday to have it gone over. I put it up for sale and within 5 hrs. had a buyer.

We made some suspension changes over the winter which really helped out but the transmission didn't like it.

I will be putting a glide in the car like everyone has said to do forever.

I have already taked to sullivan but who else builds good glides? Also what converter manufacturer should I go with? Input is appreciated.

[slownbmta]

Wooohoooo, cant wait to see it run now. You will love it, its gonna be a beast ;)

[slownbmta]

Neal Chance or ATI on the converter. I am partial to NC since thats what I have, but have also heard good things about ATI ;) www.racingconverters.com

[Slow Five-O]

glad to hear you're going to a glide.. can't wait to see it run now!

Given what similar combo's do, I don't expect it to pick up much. Although hopefully it will get more consistant and I can run some TS events next year as well as put it back on the street.

I really wish the jerico would have held up cause it might have gone an .80 considering I had a 60' one tenth faster then the .97 pass :mad:

Sullivan is about the best around here. I have used just about everyone local and he was the only one that ended up fixing our problem and making the tranny hold up. As far as converters go with a chance, ati, hughes or coan.

[turbostang]

I've only used PTC in turbo cars and had nothing but good luck with them, call them and they will shoot straight wtih you on the phone and NO BS.

I had Mike McGee's converter guy build my converter for my old TT setup, it worked flawlessly for 170 passes before I sold it. It will be a totally different car driving with an automatic - and it will damn sure take some getting used to. You will like it though, no more clutch adjustments etc.

[wade_racing]

locally no one better that sully... :) but i would call coan and talk to them about there new stuff some of the guys i run comp with run there stuff and swear buy it.... here are some that i have used and have quality stuff.

Hey man, the stuff works and you can't argue with that.

[turboten5]

yep the stuff works ,of course he has broke them like candy but he makes a bunch of power

[Blackhawk]

There's a lot more names on the list than Petty/Lynch...

Urist, James, Buginga, Neal, Hoyle, Reese, Hance, Dillard, Franklin, Hill, etc, etc....

[gravygraber59]

I'm running a Sullivan tranny and a Chance converter and no complaints. You can deff get cheaper, but it has held up real well for me so far.

Only thing with Sullivan is you need to tell him what you want. He is a dealer for three or four diff companies now. Pick what you want or talk to him and see whats been working lately.

[wade_racing]

yeah terry use to only carry TCI but he does carry others now... great guy to deal with very down to earth and laid back...

[turboten5]

yep i have a sullivan tranny also

[gravygraber59]

Heard some bad talk about his stuff, but it has always worked for me. Everyone has likes and dislikes, just known Terry for many years now and always done me right.

I know he still has TCI, and added atleast 2 others. He will tell you it's what ever you want.

Go away troll!

Anyone here using the Lenco 2 or 3 speed autos? Supposed to be able to handle significant hp and the 3 speed should be some advantage, especially if the car sees any street duty.

A lenco is not an automatic gearbox.

A bruno lenco uses a torque converter, but nobody on this board could afford to buy one, and then buy a car to put it in that needs one.

All I've got is a glide. :(

A 2 speed used bruno lenco is going for $8500ish.... I'm assuming a new 3 speed or higher bruno lenco with a bolt together chance converter would be $15kish.

[Slithr]

Had a buddy that put one in a Buick. I didn't realize they were that expensive. I guess the Buick guys can afford them.

racing junk is your friend... :) once you break enough transmissions the cost will even itself out... :)

I am going to use a Neal Chance bolt together converter. As far as transmissions, well...

Marty at Neal Chance has suggested using these guys: http://rosslertrans.com/

The specific transmission he has suggested is the TH 210. He talks highly of them and thinks that we would be better off going with this 3 speed auto. What do you guys think?

Shit 15k . Crazy

The prices seem to be in line with the glide that I bought... I know that Lynch tried a 3 speed in his car but apparently went back to the glide. I'm not sure if it was a breakage issue or an ET issue.

[Brian F.]

I gotta go against the auto "stroking" here and say shame on you!!!


No, just giving you a hard time. The Jerico stuff is alittle dated(i dont know if you bought new or used, they still make em', but they are a "lesser model") and will not live to any substantial hp, as you found out i guess.

Having a manual tranny is not for the faint of heart, i just hate to see that more folks dont give it a try, but i can understand the $$ issue, and there are so many folks to turn to for info on PG's, not so with clutch stuff

Yes, someone was right, a lenco is a clutch tranny also but not as efficient as a Liberty or the like. Yes, they as well as the Liberty can be madeinto Brunos and be bad ass. I entertained the thought of doing this possibly this winter with a 4-speed Liberty Equalizer Bruno. Only reason i even considered it was clutch stuff can be very difficult but i absolutely can not stand shifting one time, thats just not an option for me, so i thought about 4 speed bruno........but dont think im going to pull the trigger on that one

Goodluck with it, will be great to hear how the car responds to the change. I second the motion about getting Neal Chance converter

Seen some of the Super Stock and Comp guys try them, the two things bad I heard was weak, and parts are high. The TH 210 was built for light use econo cars. Glides where to but, have alot of upgade parts out there at a much cheaper price.

I would stay with the glide simply because it's a combo you can work with and get help if needed. You get off on a combo no one else has and you have no help again.
