2nd time hit at the Nostalgia Race checking out the new Strange 9″ center \ud83d\ude42 We lowered the bars after this hit! Jim Doyle photo.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

My thanks to Chris & Paul\u00a0for all their help this weekend. They pulled the 5-speed out of the ’57 for required maintenance, we tested the PacAloy 1.625″ valve springs (haven’t lost any pressure!) 295-305 lbs on the seats, took 120# out of the clutch (base pressure) and a few other items on our check list for the ’57. Go thru the gearbox and the ’57 will be set to go for 2017!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ll provide additional updates here when I get the 5-speed torn apart. – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Update July 26, 2016<\/span>:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I got the transmission tore down, needs one new 3-4 slider and will also replace the 1-2 slider while it’s apart, and I’ll be sending 3rd & 4th gears out to have the pro-shift rings replaced by Liberty<\/em>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

1st gear cluster gear (one that had a chip) is showing some hairline fractures so I’ve ordered a new 17-tooth cryo gear from Liberty<\/em> to replace it before it fails. The mating 38-tooth 1st gear seldom fractures unless you run a broken cluster gear through it. – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Update August 3, 2016<\/span>:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve installed the new Liberty<\/em> 17-tooth cryo cluster gear for 1st and I’ve cleaned up the shift ring on 2nd and installed the new 1-2 slider.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today Pam got 3rd & 4th gears shipped to Liberty<\/em> to have the shift rings replaced. In a few weeks I’ll have everything to put the gearbox back together! – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Update September 3, 2016<\/span>:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I got 3rd & 4th gears back from Liberty, new welded pro-shift rings, new bushings and new 3-4 slider. – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
