Hummmm..... I see.

 

storytime: back in the 60's in Japan I had a very nice Toyotapet sedan with a 4 speed on the column. It had a hill assist feature much like a linelok. When you came up to a stop on a hill you pushed in the clutch and held the brake pedal down and pushed a button. You could then take your foot off the brake pedal and it would hold the brake until the car moved forward and release. It was a facrory option. The car looked a little like a small 57' Plymouth.

 

Just ordered a stage 3 trans today and an edge converter custom of course 2 weeks and I'm back up did a quick learn on the truck the other day and drive in tow/haul mod under 45 and I think I can baby it for 2 weeks but we will see once in 1k a fluid change and hold on

Yep, Toyopet. the only color i ever saw them was "black". Nice ride for Japan back in the 60's.

 

Sounds like someone else is closer to 12s

 

Oh yeah 3400 stall baby it's gonna be nuts

 

Can't wait to see

 

When you plan to have it in?

 

Ships early next week and soon as it gets to my work I'm putting it in then I have all my tools there and a lift will be very easy to do

 

 

 

Did a few mods today just not to my truck worked with "pitbull Greg" new gears locker and axles rotors and u-joints that locker wants to go man going around corners if you try to give to much gas tires both break loose I'm sure it will take some getting use to by Greg

 

That's great to hear Keith. I'm sure we'll see Greg at the track soon.

How long did it take you to set the pinion dept and gears?

 

That is very likely he asked about future gtg coming up


Btw if anyone ever does any axle bearings and doesn't have a bearing puller get 2 sets off jack tools and they reach to the other side to knock it out

 

It took better part of the day we had to go get studs new axles didn't have any and no parts store had 10 but setting pinion depth was a sintch just measured stock shim minus .005 and installed good to go there tricky part was setting preload beta ause washer didn't want to crush and adjusting carrier mesh used a flat head didn't have long axle tube tool but it's done and it's quiet in 500 he is doing a fluid change as per directions and inspection and if it needs adjusting I would assume then would be good

 

Way to go Keith

 

 

Quiet 4.56 gears. Hummm. Who was the manufacture of the gears?

 

Quiet 4.56 gears.

It's all in the set up. Period!!!!

 

It was all Yukon stuff from Randy's ring and pinion Greg called at 830 tonight he said it was all good and quiet

I agree it is all in the setup as long as the backlash is set right and your depth is correct shouldn't make noise mine makes noise if I let off gas at 75-80mph for about 5mph then it's quiet

 

My first set was Yukon gears. I only had to adjust it once and they where good to go. After the Yukon gears got damaged from clip that popped out of the OEM limited slip. That's another story in it's self.

I bought a cheaper set of 4.56 gears. Never did get these new gears as quiet as the Yukons. I got what I paid for.

 

look what i got in the mail today a nicely packaged edge torque converter 3400 stall on this thing cant wait to see how it works trans ships friday Denny got a little backed up no worries thou #10 is still holding just enough to get to work and back

and maybe a car show

 

Ooo shiny

 

Looks just like my T/C.
