BadAss SRT-Z - 2.4L / A568 - Update!!!

[BadAssPerformance]

I'm trying to source a 40 rockwell plate or so to try out. Something less bendable, but hopefully not too hard that it breaks.

Yeah, thought about that but not sure that helps. The plate is at a serious disadvatage force vector-wise. Think about how a telephnone line between two poles always sags ans impossible to pull it enough to get it perfectly horizontal. Thin light line (bearing back up plate) with gravity acting upon it (gear shaft) has way more mechanical advantage than the poles (outer edges fo case).

For the 555's, you can add some extra c-sink'd bolts to help. Thought I posted this back in 06 when the 555 went in my T2 Shadow

I should be able to add something to the pot next year as I expect the power to jump up quite a bit with the new snail. I would be interested to see what broke JT. From most of the failures I've seen I've come to the conclusion the most damaging part of the tranny are the helical gears trying to move the gear set axially. I've been thinking of some possible ways to make a "girdle" so to speak and stiffen up the outer bearing plate but it's still early. As for mine, small spline and missing half the synchro teeth but no where near the passes you have.

See anyone who makes a dog box that bolts up to a 2.4L? I'll set up the GB

The only people I knew of was Rage but I don't see any good reviews and I'm not sure they are even still doing it. If I had the 6Gs I'd be designing my own already.


If you turned it into a 4 speed you could make a much thicker bearing plate that spanned the whole case similar to the 555. I think the tranny case as a whole still needs additional axial support or it will just crack as well.

How about you get yer buddy that whacked the dog teeth off to CAm us up some straigth cut gears that fit the 568

Am I over my prediction on straight cut gears yet? I think I am, but I'm not sure. I'm a visionary if only in my own mind.

Was a no brainer with the 3.05 gear.....but with the 3.50 gear back in, 5th comes in handy on the interstates.

My friend had a custom built Dog box wit custom gears shafts and billet shift forks. I know hes putting down between 550-650 to the tire and has trapped 140+ mph with his srt in full street trim nothing removed.

T850?

[16valvecharger]

T850?

Yes, and as far as I know there is one more complete on the shelf.

Holy guacamole.

[Reeves]

Very nice.

More info?

[16valvecharger]

Ive seen broken shafts but not like this. This is an aftermarket Gator shaft.

[BadAssPerformance]

Well, I wasn't planning to go to a T850, but if there is one that can take a lot more sh!t, LMK the details!

Pretty sure Realtune has them figured out pretty well. Several 9 sec SRT-4's running without Dogbox with Realtune modded T850's.

[BadAssPerformance]

I read that Realtune used the Rage gear setup which were actually made by a shop just outside of Chicago... wonder if I can talk them into making a set that slips right int he A568

[SebringLX]

This company had their gears go to Mars... http://www.forestcitygear.com/index.asp

We've got a ton of these out here.

Hmmm need NASA funding LOL

So does NASA unfortunately

Yeah, no doubt!
