stee3 Member 194 Member For: 13y 10m 10d Posted 11/01/13 10:06 PM Share Posted 11/01/13 10:06 PM Sounds like your going to build a real animal mate, also try DLM they have some big HP cars going around. With the power you want to make id stick with a turbo 400 or a glide. If you going to drive it every day have you thought about a Turbo 400 or a Powerglide with a gear vendors overdrive unit bolted to it? I've wanted one for a while but I've just finished my motor yet again so have no money at the moment, but I'll have one this year http://www.gearvendors.com/aghr3s.html Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83532-choices-for-high-performance-transmissions-race-applications/page/2/#findComment-1348170 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy P Member 7 Member For: 13y 7m 24d Posted 13/01/13 02:42 AM Share Posted 13/01/13 02:42 AM Thanks for the heads up on those gear vendor overdrives stee3. I think I will definately try and get one of those with whichever trans I go with mate, they look as though they would definately take alot more pressure off the trans itself and maybe even take a little stress off the motor also. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83532-choices-for-high-performance-transmissions-race-applications/page/2/#findComment-1348643 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes 955rwhp and ive never actually broken a gearbox. Have had issues with tailshafts/converters etc etc, but the box has withheld quite abit. I would either go T400 or C4 etc. Dont really like powerglides for the street. A mate has a powerglide and on the street, sometimes your going 2 fast for 1st gear, but 2 slow for 2nd gear if you want to give it a hit. Speak to some gearbox shops and see what they recommend.

JimmyJames Member 10 Member For: 13y 1m 29d Posted 14/01/13 12:28 AM Author Share Posted 14/01/13 12:28 AM Had a look at some transmission shops, protrans and raceglides just wondering has anyone used raceglides? they're in VIC. Bit far from tamworth but I dont think there is really anywhere near here to do any of the work.

Jimmy P Member 7 Member For: 13y 7m 24d Posted 15/01/13 09:04 AM Share Posted 15/01/13 09:04 AM Hey with the gear vendors overdrive. If I was to buy it before I had the trans fitted, do u reckon it would be the best time to also get it fitted when trans is being done?
