best way to go on tranny?

[shovelhead]

hey guys, i am in process of getting all the parts & pcs. to build a drag bike by end of year. I want to get some advise on what to do with the tranny?

 

It will be a 4mm cub drag ported, but I will also want to play a little with it , as well as dirt drags. What would you recommend i do on tranny? overide or drag cut? and more importantly who does the best job on trannys?

 

I was also thinking about doing billet 2nd gear? do I need that ?

 

any help greatly appreciated

1-5 n down dunable would work great.billet second gear don't think you need but if you have the extra money it is good to have.wcr did mine and there prices are good and its worked great

I can take care of you on the tranny, let me know when you're ready.

 

Also...WCR is going to debut a 1-6 dunable override tranny...that will probably be the hottest tranny for everyone.

[badassbanshee479]

dunable override all the way!!

 

 

I would like to see this 1-6 dunable work! I have heard to many whore story's of the 1-6's breaking!

I'm thinking as a sponsor of PS, if Greg Whitaker is putting his name and company on it, it'll work...

Not that I'd want to be one of the first that own it...LOL. But...this would be a great 1/8 or 1/4 mile tranny...

It may have the occasional bug, but what drag bike doesn't in one way or another?

Im calling him tommorow about that tranny I want it so bad.

[badassbanshee479]

I am thinkin if that1-6 works out I may have to throw the 2-5 in the play bike and order up the 1-6 for the drag bike!

[trex banshee]

Ive got the 1-6 from greg and i love it, and ive beat the crap out of it....i would try out the 1-6 duneable in a heartbeat, Greg is a great guy and will stand behind his work.

[badassbanshee479]

so how touchy is your 1-6 with down shifting and everything

[06BaNsHeE]

I dont think the 1-6 is that bad of a choice.In fact thats the only thing I regret I didnt get on my banshee.Oh well Im going to take of my 1-4 duneable and replace it with a 1-6 duneable when they come out.Thats really going to make it better gearing for the 1/4 mile.I dont see how you sand guys will benefit from it tho

[badassbanshee479]

alot of us mi boys run 660ft ice drags in the winter, so gearing options would be alot bigger with the 1-6

so how touchy is your 1-6 with down shifting and everything

 

pretty touchy! no downshifting even at rolling speed. I have no problem with this though, don't know why but when i get on it it just seems like second nature to know not to downshift...the only reason why i have had any problems with it is because the whole rule where you are not supposed to let off and get right back in it....yeah i kinda do that opposite of that, me and shift forks don't get a long! :biggrin: Greg did some kind of trick welding on mine this time and he said that they should be good to go.

[njbanshee]

If you can't down shift, then how is it a duneable tranny?

[trex banshee]

If you can't down shift, then how is it a duneable tranny?

 

mine isn't...maybe i wasn't clear enough. I have the 1-6 non-duneable now but i would try the 1-6 duneable in a heartbeat.
