That's a nice write up on different options available in transmissions, a much more thorough explanation than mine.

I've ridden (but never driven) in race cars with dog change/helical cut trannys, the noise of a proper shift is pretty incredible. I'm interested to see what you think. I understand it can be an expensive learning curve to drive dog change properly...but maybe cheaper than replacing Muncies.

I agree, and I hope to get in there and learn quickly. Everyone I have talked to says shift it like you mean every... single... time. Sounds fun and hopefully not harder than it sounds. I think getting the footwork down will be the hardest part since it will be so counterintuitive.

But yes, either way... no more Muncies.

All those items your bringing so far sound great, But if you dont have a car to fill it with you'll need the Karioki Box so we can use the rest of the space as a dance floor

In other words, WHATS UP WITH THE NEW TRANS INSTALL!!

Waiting on a clutch disc to arrive... then it's on. Just decided (and confirmed I am within spec) to go with the Centerforce LMC (light metal clutch) disc and use my existing RAM pressure plate and alum flywheel. Gotta love mixing and matching parts.

Got some more serious safety gear (all nomex SFI 5 stuff) ordered this weekend, as well as the rest of the oil cooling system I finally decided on. Will get started on that by next weekend. I've really started to think about safety more lately and try to incorporate that into every potential upgrade or mod.

And another Dog Ring trans expert sent me this bad ass video of a Jerico'd GT350R @ Road America...
