Forgive my absence on the board here lately. I have been buried trying to stay on top of things. I just checked some posts and people were asking about progress on the 5 speed trans.

Well let me assure you that we ARE making progress on it. It has been slower than we wanted. Keep in mind, we started with a clean sheet of paper here. We are a small company and things take time.

This is why my intention from the beginning was not to mention anything until we were closer to production. However, the McLeod M800 thing kinda threw a wrench in that and I felt that I had better mention that we were working on a project so that people knew that another option was coming.

Regardless, in the spring, we had several casting changes to make. These have been made and we are working on the gear interlock mechanism now. We are currently waiting on the shift forks and parts for the interlock mechanism.

We had hoped to have a display piece for the Mopar Nationals, but vendor time frames kept us from accomplishing that.

Yes, this is taking longer than I originally thought. There have been plenty of hiccups along the way. However, due to the fact that there will be no mods needed to install it like some of the other options out there. It is truly an afternoon swap if your car is currently a 4 speed.

I am cleaning out my PM mailbox as soon as I post this. Feel free to contact me with any questions, OR you can always call or e-mail.
Thanks,
Jamie

This unit will certainly be able to be used in a race application. We are looking at being able to handle higher horsepower. I will get back to people on numbers when we are further along. However, it will be able to take more than a standard 18 spline A-833.

I appreciate all the offers for test cars. We have that pretty well taken care of. We have at least one of each body style here, plus I know other people in warmer climates that can handle "winter" testing because they never see snow. So, we are good I think.

As for standard SB/BB clutch working? I am confused by your question. The clutch required will be your standard garden variety 18 spline clutch and throwout bearing with the appropriate pressure plate of course. One more plus for the consumer. Not being tied to us for a special clutch.

It will be made in both 4.35" and 4.80" bearing retainer. This way, you can bolt it up to ANY stock small block (except OD) or big block bellhousing with NO MODS to your bellhousing.

That is correct. The shifter is actually part of the trans. It will be available in press in or bolt on type so that you can use your existing factory 4 speed handle if you desire.
The ratios are as follow:
2.65
1.92
1.40
1.00
.70

Can't wait for this bad boy. I plan to sell my daily driver to make my dart a daily driver!
 
sounds cool.. i think that OD ratio will turn a 3.91 gear into a 2.70ish ear. gotta love that ****.. :)
 

Right on. I can't wait. I know Jamie will do it right and not rush crap out the door.

Now if only we had some pricing info..... :poke: :dontknow:

I think that was for the McLeod unit. Jamie gets $2995 for his 18 spline Hemi OD unit, and that is built in the 833 case. Seriously doubt that a unit built out of a new case will be less than the Hemi OD unit....I seen mention of close to $5000 on another forum a while ago......
 
Man this drives me nuts. Why does it have to be so freakin' expensive to give our 40-year-old cars one extra gear LOL? I can't believe the cost is at the same level as my Jeep, and that thing HAS a 5-speed!! Still I NEED one of these... not want, NEED lol...
