DopeyTripod Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 ok, so I want to put this on my shee but have NO clue what one does or any of them do other than I need one or more of them for drag racing. you can see my set up below. I want to shift thru the gears with out pulling the clutch when I race. which set up will I need?? whats the diff. between them?? a freind of mine has a race cut. whats that?? help. Quote
sheefreak Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 You want an override tranny. You may or may not need a lockout for your clutch. These items are two different things. If you can afford the lockout and cover, or slingshot under cover lockup additionally to the override I would get one. Otherwise, override first. Hard telling what racecut is...could be an override or it could be a back cut tranny. Override is shift w/o pulling clutch, backcut makes for smoother shifting. Quote

POORBOY350 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 look in the 4sale forum i think i saw 2 lockouts and covers in there if not put it in the ''wanted'' section. Quote

No problem bro. Are you understanding the diff. between a lockup and an override? Quote
DopeyTripod Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Posted March 13, 2009 No problem bro. Are you understanding the diff. between a lockup and an override? lol no. I know what a override does but what does a lockout do?? Quote
sheerider1026 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 i would say that a racecu overide can not be backloaded. bt a dunable overide can.. both of these trannys do the same thing, wide open throttle, shifting without using the clutch.. a dunable cost a few bucks more, but is the only way to go.. a lockout goes on your clutch, it is for high HP bikes. it uses centrifugal force (it has weights on it) which lock the clutch plates together extremely tight as rpm increases.. it basically eliminates clutch slippage. hope that makes sense.. Quote
sheefreak Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 The lockup uses cintrifical force to apply more pressure to the outer clutch and squeezes the fibers and steels together to keep your clutch from slipping. The more RPM's the motor turns, the more force is applied. The more power and torque you produce, the greater the need for a lockup. You can get away w/stiffer clutch springs till about 80 horse or so. I had a 85 horse drag ported 4 mill that was fine w/o a lockup till I got an override. The overrided provides a jackhammer affect when shifting causing your clutch to slip. This a good enough explanation? Quote
DopeyTripod Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Posted March 13, 2009 great explanation guys. thanks!! I guess I dont need a lockout per tyson racing, my shee has prolly 65-70 hp. Quote
sheefreak Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 He is correct...He won't steer you wrong. And sheerider, great explanation, we must have been typing at the same time. Not trying to undermine you. :cool: Quote
