TH350 Governor/Shift weights - Page 3

JP1738 · 04-16-2024, 04:11 PM

Is there anyone coming to Reynolds this week for the D2 race at silver dollar that might have some stock or #1 weights/lighter springs I can try? I pulled my governor out to see what it had, but the kit I ordered from B&M isn't going to be here in time for me to make a change before the race this weekend, so I've already put everything back together. I wouldn't mind making a change on Thursday or Friday if someone has the parts I can borrow for the weekend. If not, it's not show stopper, I'll just wait until I get back home on Sunday and try to get it dialed in before the national event next week.

Maybe head to a local transmission shop and grab a completely stock one to try/use for parts?

Working in the shop I came across some T350 governor springs. There's different weights left over from when I built some manual shift T350's using different kits. PM me an address and I'll send them to you if you want them.

I ordered the B&M shift weight kit a few weeks ago and have it sitting in my shop. I have not had time to work on changing it since then. I left it as is for the national at charlotte as it was very consistent the way it was and I didn't get the kit in until the Wednesday before I left. I'm going to work on changing it and experimenting with shift points next week. I'm taking my bracket car out this weekend to see if I can win a second consecutive 6.0 index race. Might get to change it out Sunday or whenever it finally gets dry around here again. I'll have it dialed in to the shift point I'm looking for before the next time I have it out. I'm going to try to go to the CCRA race at Rockingham in 2 weeks, should have it dialed in by then and I'll update the thread with whatever the process ends up being like.

Thanks for not forgetting about me!!!
