I just ran across this post. I have broken 3 shift fingers
in the past year, all 3-4.

If someone is making better quality pieces I would like to get a name/address/phone number.

Thanks in advance,
Gerry

Why is it that Jerico cannot make parts for they're transmissions anymore?
I'm seeing quite a few Jerico's for sale?
Whats UP?
What happened to the Quality?
Craftsmanship?
Material?

I have broken the 3-4 finger twice now this year,i believe the first one was original,the second one lasted 6 passes.I have had a DR4 for 5 seasons,always use the clutch,also has a LONG verticle shifter no stops.The first one was a clean break,looked like it was sheared off clean and straight,the second is fractured,very jagged! I talked to Jerico last Wednesday[July 16 2014],their responce was they had no idea of an issue as nobody has reported an issue?!!! I have read through all four pages and it looks like they will break with or without clutch use and with or without shifter stops.Has anyone come up with a reason or a solution? I just drove to a N/SS race 1500 miles away only to break Sunday morning,SUCKS!! ROY.

I am sorry to hear this Roy, I and many others share your frustration. I have had them break in the middle of money rounds where my opponent was broken and we both had to limp to the stripe (he won)!

But the good news is I finally found a machinist to make these for us out of 4150 chrome moly billet and I just got two of them yesterday to test for fit. They are mighty pretty pieces.. Will keep everyone updated.

Has anyone contacted Scott or others at Jerico, and what are they saying? I have not had any problem with my Jerico but now you have me worried! I use a Hurst/Mr. Gasket V-Gate2 with stops.

Jerico fingers are being made from a cast 8620 steel. Does not have the strength or ductility needed. They have many surface cracks on them right off the shelf, we have done countless dye penetrant tests on them.

I'm obtaining new ones that are CNC machined from U.S made high strength billet SAE 4150 chromoly steel by a professional racing team.
