A568 Shifting Mods - Crash Box

[BadAssPerformance]

I think the only reason was they are more current and have more parts available.

Part of the reason I put the A568 behind the 2.4L instead of the T850 is because of the high RPM issues the T850 allegedly has.

Still not sure about the excitement over T850's. They Shear input shafts on street tires.

They also go 10's in a 3000lb car IF driven right But I hear what your saying. It would seem that they have more problems than ours trannies, but is that the case, or have they just been abused on a much larger scale with more averag TQ put to them?

It does surprise me that not one of us at the higher end have sheared an input shaft yet! This was a great concern of mine when I decided to go solid hub, and I'm still small spline, cutting 1.5X 60's!

Yes, every time I broke an axle I thought maybe I sheared an input shaft....Even with incredibly destructive wheel hop on slicks. Then I know people with SRT-4's who have sheared input shafts at street races on street tires.

I will start a thread soon. I'm trying to sell my house and buy an acreage so I'm swamped right now. I don't want to start anything until I can deliver but at the same point I don't think many people will be drag racing until spring. You can probably look for something in early January. Also, I think this goes without saying but you would need to send me the gear set you want modified. I just emptied my stock on my transmission last year.

Any updates?

The odd number of teeth (39) on the 2nd gear synchro had me stumped but then if I remove 2 teeth between the ones that remain it will work. That only leaves 13 teeth but then the gear itself has 4 gaps with each one missing 4 teeth, which leave only 23 engaging as stock. Is anyone doing this? I'll be using a 2nd gear from an A555 (modified to fit) which doesn't have all the missing teeth.

With no new synchros available I don't think the excitement level is high for any sort of modification.
