If its difficult to pull out of gear while running, that can be a symptom of a clutch hanging up and not allowing the parts inside the trans to unload and pull out of gear. The clutch pedal only needs to travel 3"-4" to disengage the clutch. If you are pushing the pedal it's full travel, which...

$20k-$25k all said and done to convert synchromesh to sequential. Mounts the same, install sequential shifter and run cable. Fab work is the cheap part.

Have you checked the clutch pedal release point? (put car in gear, jack one rear tire off ground, push pedal down and have someone rotate tire in the air, set clutch pedal stop once tire releases with clutch pedal travel) Does the car want to move while in gear with engine running and clutch...

A steak dinner for me after I fix it all up for you.

You could probably make a spacer out of a longer bolt and some small tubing between the cable rod end and shift arm. There wouldn't be much flex if any. You just need to make sure the bolt and nuts stay tight or your shifting will not work right and can damage the dogs on the gears. Loctite and...

The problem with the H-pattern synchronized Albins is they have stopped inventorying these specific gears and small parts. Weddle keeps a small selection of "standard" gear ratio's on the shelf, but if the ratio you need is out of stock at Weddle, you could be waiting for Albins to make new...

Keep in mind you will need to replace your dash display (if equipped), or reprogram the gear position settings on a digital dash. Gen 3 output voltages are different than Gen 1/Gen 2.

We started at the top of McCulloch and made it down to McKee's where my 5 year olds bucket was full, then turned around. Crazy how many people were out.

Most everyone notices a positive difference over the Gen1/Gen2 mechanism. Ron and Tyler at Weddle put a lot of work into making sure they work like they should.

Close. I was born of the mail man.

To be clear, I'm not leaving the industry. I'll still be around.

Yup, thread title says it all. My last day at Weddle was Friday October 18. 12 years. Great place to work. Great opportunities to improve myself personally and professionally. It was a tough decision to leave, but somewhat forced due to the difficulty of purchasing a home and raising a family...

LOL. Dave annoying the locals already. You guys should be happy I'm not in charge, there would only be 2 sub forums, Glamis News/Chat and Sandrail Tech. I'm like the snakes and sparklers Indian in Joe Dirt, those are the only ones I like.

Wow. A thread with actual good advise from all who participated. Nice work everyone. I will add this: When the slave is adjusted with just a small amount of freeplay in the clutch arm, most clutch pedals should only have to travel 3"-4" MAX to disengage the clutch. (this depends on the pedal...

That is going to change on the next units as they are moving the bar behind the front seats back a few inches. The drivers seat was a little short for me at 6'1" with the seat all the way back against the bar. Will still have lots of room in the back seats though. I think the body would look...

They are inside the door. They push the doors open when you release the latch, then hold them open.

This is the only picture I have of the Brenthel car in the booth. Sorry, I did not take any detail shots. I'm not a good picture taker. It has "Lambo" style doors that open up and outwards, with some fairly stiff rear window struts to push them open once you hit the latch. I watched one kid...

Interesting show this year. A lot of people walking the show, not as many stopping in to chat and ask questions as years past. More questions asking if we had parts in stock, rather than asking what trans they needed for a new build or replacing smaller trans. Still a good show for us. I had...

That Mastershift system is very antiquated, along with the shifting technology of the old Mendeola and PBS sequentials at the time this was tried. The new Weddle Gen 3 shift mechanism and various paddle shifting hardware/kits and tuning systems are far superior today. it really comes down to...

PADDLE SHIFTERS Adding to the discussion: Paddle shifter systems can be added to almost any mechanically operated sequential shifted transaxle/gearbox with the use of an external actuator and paddles adapted to the steering wheel. These are becoming more prevalent the in sand car world, but...
