Not Ranked
shifting through the gears
I am having a bit of difficulty making quick shifts when really getting on it, the move from 1st to 2nd and on takes about 1/4 of a second to finally get it into the next gear. This is a BW T-10 sideloader 4 speed with ford 427. I have replaced the clutch slave with the pull type wildwood. I have had problems with the clutch engaging to close to the floor and have since adjusted the slave by securing it better to the frame but as the car heats up, it still engages closer to the floor. Not sure if my problem racing is a function of the slave not pulling far enough to get throught the gears or if has to to with synchronization. I would like to be able to shift it within a split second but there is a huge lag between the gears on the quarter mile strip.
this is a centerforce multi-spline race clutch. I don't know a whole lot more than what I have described.
