Actually I have seen the late model slick shift gear boxes on 1960's era drag bikes and wondered if they used the slick shift as a speed shifter or if they were just using the late model tranny for it's superior bearing arrangement? I want to try it and find out for myself.
Slick shift trannies are the fast set up, back off the throttle for a split second toe in the next gear and floor it through the gears. For drag racing stock or street modified nothig is faster!
Last year of the pre-unit long rod 500 engine.
What a line up!
ReplyDeleteDid you ever meet anybody who thought the Slick Shift was a good idea?
