This was the first day out for Chris’ ’71 Chevelle in 2015 at the season opener at Pacific Raceway<\/em> after freshening the motor and having the TH-400 transmission gone through in the off season. <\/strong><\/p>\n

On his first hit of the day, the car pushed through the lights when on the trans brake. Our transmission woes continue. After that Chris decided to foot-brake the car the rest of the afternoon and did very well making it to the 3rd round before being eliminated. He made lemonade out of lemons!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was that last round that the car performed its best running a 10.468 @ 126.08 MPH with a 60-foot time of 1.434. That is an excellent pass for not having the use of the trans brake. With the brake it would have been in the 10.30s at a density altitude of 1815 feet. We’re very pleased with how the 406 is performing, but certainly not<\/span> with the transmission that continues to plague us despite where we have it done!<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, we’ll once again pull the transmission and see if the trans brake problem can be solved. – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Just spoke with\u00a0Bill at Hughes Performance<\/em><\/a>, they are building us a complete TH-400 with brake, solenoid and deep pan. It will be about a month before we see it but I want to end the transmission madness and quit wasting runs on the engine. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Hughes<\/em> wants us to use the Lucas Sure Shift<\/a><\/em>\u00a0ATF and we’ll follow their recommendations! – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our new TH-400 arrived today and we’re looking forward to getting the Chevelle back out to the strip on June 20. – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
