Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
All I have to do on this thread is thank everyone that helped. That is going to take a while and being the age I am I will forget or not mention some one who has helped. After three years of work I forgot some stuff, please do not be offended.
This weekend we were able to meet our performance goals on an eighth mile. Thanks to all! |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
What was the source of the vibration?

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
It could have been several things. I changed the drive shaft position and decreased TIR by .007, installed new tail shaft bushing, installed new bushing in front drum, and changed converters. I'm not sure what it was but it's gone. The converter in the car now is quicker the the one that was in it so the chances of that converter going back in the car are slim.
The good thing is the vibration is ok. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
The trans we destroyed in Dumbo is fixed and on the way back home.
All parts in trans were junk, rear ring gear, rear planet, rear sun gear, sun shell, front sun shell, front sun gear, front planet gear, front ring, all bearings, forward drum, direct drum, bands, clutches and steels, rollers, gasket, seals and filter. Hp is good to have but has a cost. We are looking forward to going to Belle Rose in November to race it at the open. Jeff and I have a small wager on this race to add a little excitement. Hope to see a lot of friends at this race so y'all come on down |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I had to go to a transmission shop to get some gaskets and a few small stock parts. If you run a trans that has not been made for a while, I would suggest getting one or two cores just for parts.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Good news. We got new stronger parts from ProTrans, Joel’s on Joy installed and tested. Installed trans in car and it ran the same. We went four rounds at the local track in foot brake. I forgot about the stripe taker on the front of my competition.
Change oil, adjust valves, and head to Belle Rose later this month. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
After my hand is fixed and healed, adding some data loggers, dyno time, testing, win the championship. Pretty much the same as last year and every year, with the exception of the surgery and the extra logging.
