No time for pics.

Maybe we will update this weekend.

Well I promised some updates...here are some teaser pics.


Had to reinforce the bellhousing and transmission in general.


Front tire with a 3" intercooler upper pipe... guess I can't complain about traction anymore.

So they stick out a little bit it still looks damm cool.

Have a good one.

All I was thinking of while looking at those pics was, damn, there is going to be some serious drivetrain carnage this year. The good thing about that is, that means your going faster down the 1/4 mile(or whereever you may be ).

What kind of behavior do the 3S housings like to exhibit when they fail? Do you know of anyone that has a CAD model of them?

No one has modeled one, I don't have time to do it as of yet.

Pretty much since they are a helical cut gear, the input shaft tends to push out the bellhousing in an attempt to eat the clutch. It happens on the 6speed models somewhat often on high hp cars w/hook.
The 5speed models it is yet to occur, but I am tired of being the "first" to break shit...not the goal this season.

The theory is that the plate strengthens the "inside floor" of the bellhousing. This keeps the drive gears from seperating, and does not give them the opportunity to start to fatigue the bellhousing.

The method works great for some of the high hp 6speed guys that USE to break cases.
