SS 4speed G-force or Jerico ?

Most of the guys running the Pro Stick series uses the Jerico. There are quite a few G-Force transmissions being run also.

I have noticed the Jerico doesn't like a paddle clutch, (Yes, some guys still run that stuff.), and also needs the ball type bearing in the rear of the crank to support the input shaft close to the splines. I have broken several inputs until someone told me that rather important bit of information. Haven't broken anything since.

The G-Force-101 seems to hold up better in the heavy, higher horsepower/torque cars. The 'latest and greatest' GF-4 has what is commonly referred to as handcuffs between 2nd and 3rd gear to resist the mainshaft and cluster from spreading apart under load. If my memory serves me correct, the old Nash torque-tube transmissions had this feature. I have one of the GF-4's in my SS car. I'm impressed with this one.

The transmission choice is yours, however, the clutch is not. Use a soft-loc. Soft is fast and cuts down on broken parts.
