Street Stock Transmission Question |
Lead | |
|
Hey guys I have a street stock that the transmission was bad in, we switched the transmission with the same type c5 except this one had a shorter tailshaft and the yoke was bolted in, now the problem wear facing is not enough play in the driveshaft to allow the rearend to move up and down, what are my options I've been told I have to get a driveshaft with a carrier bearing assembly or switch the tailshaft are there any other options?
Thanks for the Help, Jimmie

I was just saying the wheelbase is to short to run at the Drome Tater. We did get the transmission problems fixed and should have it at the Dromes Open Practice. I'm really hoping some guys like Hulio and Artie bring there cars out so I can follow them and learn what lines to run

You would have to ask them to go at half throttle in order to watch their lines

Hulio said he hopes you changed the tail shaft because anything else is eventually gonna break. His advice is use the correct transmission to start with. Evidently the one you have is for a van or pickup truck? Trade it for a car trans.
Follow Murphy. He'll teach ya the Dromer line which will work great for a FWD. |

I had to re-read that. You're running a Street Stock that is too short for the Drome so you're running in the IOFS? In the words of the infamous Don Lister......"OHHHHHH MYYYYYYY!!!!"
Where did this car originate? |

Why would I hate ya? That's silly! In fact, I'm thinking about adding a Forum for Salem when they open the Short Track. We have always been here for Figure 8 (AND) Oval and since alot of our Members will be participating at Salem it makes sense to have a discussion area.
