Finally got the spare trans opened up, looks worse than I expected. Drove fine, other than a slight clunk when going from 5th to 4th - never even a grind from 3rd to 4th, no hint there was an issue until I found synchro teeth in the axle seal. In addition to a wasted synchro there are some broken and burned up parts. The oil sprayer broke off and the shaft it supplied got a little hot. Ordering a few replacement parts, and coating stuff this time. Still, after three years of racing with nothing more than a fluid change, I can't complain.

Wow. Any miss shifts contribute to that?

Its really hard to miss the 3-4 shift. But after three years of use, and many guest drivers, I am sure it has been well used. I know guys that are having to rebuild much more costly trans every season, so I wont complain about getting three years out of this one.

Only asked because you said the downshift was getting bad but the upshift was fine.

I had the same problem with 4th on my 6 speed transmission I built years ago. But after having it out to swap in my new turbo engine I switched to royal purple and the notchy downshift to 4th has nearly completely cleared up.

Took the car out to Auto Club Speedway over the weekend for the SCCA U.S. Majors Tour. Took the win from the pole on Saturday, and knocked another tenth off the H Prod track record, now at a 1:59.302.

Sunday we thought it was going to stay dry enough to run full slicks, was just a slight sprinkle when we headed to grid, but it started to rain hard during the race. At one time I was leading the group overall, but it was not worth pushing that hard to so I backed off a bit. Took the win in HP and finished 3rd overall.

Oh, the horror! Not everyone knows what those are supposed to look like, but I can appreciate what happened in there. Will you be sticking with the stock ratios still, or have you decided to tweak them based on performance at a given track?

Stock ratios? We have been using the Kaaz gear set since 2012. Nothing will be changing.

Not since 2010, we use the xB final drive.

Have been using the same GoPro Hero 3+ for a couple of years... The difference in clarity is due to the windshield being tinted.

The 2017 race season is under way. Just head a double header at Auto Club Speedway. Took the H Prod pole, claimed the win both days, and reset the record that I set at this event last year. Looking forward to Indy in October.
