Man. trans for Stock

[Don Anderson]

Mike,
Aluminum case & tail housing goes about 100 lbs.
Magnesium case & tail housing are 8 lbs. lighter.


I had Paul @ Liberty Gears help me upgrade an old Doug-Nash 4+1 back in 2008 to Liberty`s face plate system legal for my 1985 M/S NHRA Stock Mustang and up-grade the shift shaft seals in the case. I know for Super Stock racer Terry Johnson who went to Liberty`s 5-speed and picked up .2 in his car and made it more fun to drive again.

You're right, the 5-speed Liberty Equalizer was a pretty substantial gain for the small motors vs. a traditional Jerico 4-speed. I just weighed our G-Force 4-speed with aluminum case and it was like 97lbs with shifter and everything. Similar.
