Oh this could get interesting

[M4wdFab]

going to concentrate on getting this thing sorted this year to either sell or hit back racing hard again in 2017.  By this winter, i may start on a new 2 seater multi use truck.   

Racing is getting tiring, id really like something with summer plates on it that can take my abuse

If your going to sell 572, just repair the the tranny, let the new owner sort out the rest.

I agree that a dual purpose rig would be nice.  But the fact is you crossed over to dedicated off road vehicles. Thats hard to come back from.  No way could i tolerate 100:1 gear ratios and slow wheeling.   Thats the only way those dual purpose rigs survive.

I've not experienced the full race car stage but I can see Gif's logic.

But sMike didn't say anything about going slow, just being able to plate and drive what he races.  4600 class calling?

I can't wait to see what sMike comes up with next!  I've thought something might be changing soon...

mild pro4, that runs the street and crawls 95% of what the buggies do would be the theme haha

I got a 68 commando that's worth more in parts to me than a complete vehicle..

[matt]

Wonder how hard it would be to have something like this be street legal



Or

[M4wdFab]

unit relocated to the shop.

90% unpacked from KOH

[M4wdFab]

got a 1/3 into trans pull and found the range shifter position sensor is cracked..... 

stopped and need to do research.  probably should have read trans codes, and possibly change this sensor or at least swap with the other one sitting on the shop floor.  gona be pissed if thats all it is. 

[mr.mindless]

range shifter position? Is that something that reads shifter position in addition to where the control valve is in the valve body?

[M4wdFab]

not a ton of info i can find (maybe my issue)  i thought the mechanical lever only really actuates the park pin and detents for the other possitions.  the sensor is what tells the trans what to do. 


other tell tail i found with my no motion in any gear, check level engine off, then check level engine on in P, if same level, pump blown.  if lower, pump is working. 

[mr.mindless]

Are you certain the pump runs in Park? I don't know for certain on the GM trannies, but I do know on the Mopars you must check in N. The pump is disengaged in P. Best practice to cool them off in N for the same reason.
