I've been running circle track in a purestock class, Rugg was hired as a tech man over there.
He checked trannys last Saturday to see if they ran all the gears. He had the towtruck lift the rear bumper
and they ran and shifted through all the gears. One car only had low. We only run in low technically.
We called it as cheating since a purestock class should have all the gears.
The "committee" is debating over legal or illegal due to almost all of the trannys needing to me "modded" to not shift out of low when it reaches higher RPM. They apparently had plugged all the holes inside and only have low left.
they do not even have park. Is that possible? Everyone else who runs this tranny apparently cracks that plastic gear on the side so it doesn't shift out of low.
could you help us figure why or what the purpose of plugging the holes would give this tranny the better advantage?
does it add to horsepower vs the other way of doing it?
and if the holes were just plugged up, why would there not be park?
its a 200 from a 77 impala or something like that.
we need an experts opinion.
the meeting is tomorrow night we need something written to prove that this tranny should not be allowed to run in a purestock class. they should be able to have all the gears and park to be considered stock.. imho..
If they did allow it, how would they tech legal or illegal trannys after that? if they had no gears.. would they have to tear apart eveyrones trannys to see if they were empty or plugged??
Anyone on here can help it would be greatly appreciated!!
