Jericho trans question
 

Can one of these trans used in a stocker be used on the street? Hemi 18 spline trans are $2000 and up. That much into a trans might as well step up to a better one.

Can be used on the street, just exercise "double clutch'' technique on up/downshifting to extend trans. life. Full throttle shifts, same as on track. Tony

So, no synchros huh?

Re: Jericho trans question
 

you can do it,if you have truck driving experience with a 10 speed that will help the learning curve ,, oh lots of gear noise !

Re: Jericho trans question
 

I wouldn;t do that, never had any luck shifting it slow !

Re: Jericho trans question
 

Was wondering this.. if there’s a sweet spot to “float” or RPM match shifts??

Re: Jericho trans question
 

You won’t have any problem shifting that transmission on the street. It is face tooth design and you won’t need to use the clutch. Just ease off the throttle and move the shifter smoothly and quick. The straight cut gears will be noisy and down shifting should not be done. It will wear pretty fast.

Re: Jericho trans question
 

With practice you will get a feel and can and will shift like butter....

Re: Jericho trans question
 

Agree ! It is all technique and practice. That said it is a non-synchro box so there will be times in traffic where you just have to slam a gear and go. People will look at you like something just fell out the bottom but it's part of the tradeoff for a strong powershifting box.

Re: Jericho trans question
 

I'd be looking for a Jerico WC (Winston Cup) version that has the road race sliders. Never tried one but they are designed to down shift. DR-4's don't like downshifting although on occasion I can get mine into a lower gear without drama. The gear noise will likely make you crazy and yes, they sound like parts are falling out.

Re: Jericho trans question
 

I agree that road race sliders are the way to go for street use, but not quite as good for fast powershifts, especially if you tend to "forget" the clutch. At a stop, push in the clutch, push the shifter into first, go. Upshifts are straightforward but the parts slamming together will be quite loud. Downshifting, also loud but works fine with road race sliders. It will also stay in gear without keeping your hand on the shifter while driving.

Re: Jericho trans question
 

Also keep in mind that there is a huge amount of "lash" between the face tooth dog rings and the sliders, so any on and off the throttle will feel very strange compared to a syncro street style transmission. For drag racing, a Jerico (or G Force) is great, but as much as I like these transmissions at the strip, I think running one on the street very much would get old, real quick.

Re: Jericho trans question
 

I had Liberty's build me a faceplated (1-4) T-56 6 speed for a street car, a little finesse and it's great on the street. You learn it's nuances and quickly adapt.

Re: Jericho trans question
 

I have a faceplated gforce t-5 and its crisp clean shifting at the track and I do drive it on the street!! No issues ..it does clunk in every gear except for 5th... I can downshift it as well

Re: Jericho trans question
 

And they're more fun than a barrel 'o monkeys!

Re: Jericho trans question
 

hi. yes you can use it on street, be noisy, . also they can be down shifted easily. you blip throttle a little, in neutral then it'll go right into gear, . like one guy stated , old trans were straight cut gears, you double clutched them. I learned about that when I was 16 , driving a 1948 GMC truck, no gear grinding, hmmmm. takes practice!

Re: Jericho trans question
 

I'm really considering one of those for a 427 68 Acadian. How do you like yours ? How much HP are you putting through it ? I plan to make 450-500 with mine... but on a small tire.


T5 fits the floor unlike the faceplated TKO 600 in my 72 Nova.

I love it!! Runs 10.70s on motor
