Default Re: Jerico tranmission

Muncie's broke regualrly. I know I ran one in a 12 second Stocker with 7" slicks.....ST-10's came out and they were going to be the hot ticket......WRONG.....If you ran one without touching it, the gears might sieze from being to tight. My friends MP car did it . I honed gears with a flex hone trying to loosen it up for him and that did work...........They both were used extensively but needed a lot of work and sometimes broke.....

First they were "slick shifted" then "pro shifted".....If you missed a gear they needed to come apart to be fixed.....

Doug Nash was the next trans to come along and they did hold up pretty well...

There was a guy running a '57 Corvette at my local track in Pro bracket.....The car is just like a Jr Stocker from the 60's. Stock body, small tires........Slapper bars and low 12's with various small cube small blocks, He had a Jericho in it and he told me it had more runs than he could count on it over the years and it was never out for repair.....I think he finally broke it and put an automatic in it.....
