6-7 psi was what the Tremec tech advisor told me.

What shifter doesn't leak?

Anybody else had problems with the factory tremec shifter?

The latest design White Lightning shifter (from American Powertrain) doesn't leak.

The first several iterations did.

The factory shifter rattles, rather badly, no matter how much I shim it.

White lighting is confirmed dry....even on track?

Dry as a bone in my customer's car. He's had several months with it now with perfect results... but he doesn't go to the track.

Edit: the earlier ones seemed to leak only in high RPM conditions, and I tested the latest one (hard) in that sort of situation. The new seal sure looks impressive.

Donny, did you see my post #16 with the pictures of the WL generations I had in my possession for awhile?

John, can you confirm if the one in your customers car looks like that third one? From memory I mean, I do not intend for it to sound like I would ask you to look at it.

Thanks,

Robert

Jim,

I also welcome you to the site. Already great to have manufacturer representatives here to help us out!

Regarding my question below, any insight?

Thanx!

Sorry for the loooooong delay getting to this thread. I've been busy with new projects.

Hurst Driveline DOES sell parts individually and ships them FREE. Some parts that are contained within an assembly are not available separately unless you have the assembly and it has a broken or worn out part. An example would be if you want a hydraulic master cylinder mounting bracket that is normally sold as a kit and you need a new bracket to replace one for what ever reason we would sell this to you without question. If you want to purchase just the bracket and don't have our hyd kit we don't sell the bracket separately. Reason being it won't fit most other hydraulic master cylinders and we wind up getting it back for a refund. If anybody has any questions please contact me. I'll be happy to help you with what you need.
Jim

Yes, that's the one. I've installed it in two customers' cars now, though only one is on the road so far.

I still can't believe these manufacturers make parts and don't test them. It's beyond me....

Mr Goodlad,
I currently have a T56 Magnum with the stock Tremec shifter and I'm interested in upgrading to the Hurst Blackjack shifter. But I don't see any reference to an individual part number for the just the shifter. My question is, is the Blackjack shifter available separately or is it only sold with a kit? If the shifter is available can you tell me what part number I would need to order?
