jrfastbanshee Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 I was thinking of getting the barnett basket since is has stanless steel inserts over the fingers. Or I was thinking of the PE one since it's cheaper. I really would like to have the barnett since I have seen even Hinson get notched. (not nearly as bad as stock though) Quote
Meat Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 I think that Barnett is on the right track with those finger protectors. Id buy the Barnett, all the other billet baskets will groove. I ran a Hinson basket for a while, till I traded it for a crankshaft, and my Hinson held up fine for a good solid year of use, no grooving. But even Hinson recommends running stock clutch plates because the aftermarket clutchs are too abrasive and will eventually groove the basket. When I first seen the Barnett basket with the stainless finger protectors, I thought "thats a good idea, why didnt I think of that". Quote
ledofthezep Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 My g/f's dad has a barnett basket with hinson clutch plates on his '87shee & has been running that setup for almost 4 years now withought any issues. I believe in them. Quote
jrfastbanshee Posted May 21, 2004 Author Report Posted May 21, 2004 Great...thanks! I will spend the extra money. Stock one lasted 17 years but has always shifted like poo. My engine finally ate the rubber cushions so it's time to go! Quote
