Stocker 4 speeds

FINESPLINE · 07-28-2010, 08:41 AM

What manufacturer would you recommend as far as stocker 4 speeds and why ?

Jerico, DR 4 or DR 4.4. Long shifter. Start out with a McLeod Soft Lock. It works, it is rock solid, and racers who will step up to help you run it. Up in your area, you need to talk to Steve Ficacci and Ralph Popora.

Say .for example . What would it cost to convert a 66 nova 283 from a p/g to a stick, New stuff and used stuff prices ? I have been thinking about this for the past 2 seasons. I am sure i have spent almost as much in auto combos as it would have to change .This may put some fun back into my racing. PS i already have a clutch pedal in the car.

Jerico used 2500.00

Bellhousing(buy a quicktime 450.00)

aluminum flywheel 300.00

Clutch used from 750.00 to 1500.00

Long shifter 400.00 new

I bought my stuff used this is about what I paid. There are great deals out there. Had a friend just buy an Advanced Clutch used for 750.00 with the flywheel.

I was notified just the other day that Mr. Gasket has bought Quick Time.

Crap! Probably a good move on Mr. Gasket as everybody wants a QT.

Finespline, There's a smokin' deal from Mike Iaccono in the for sale section on a Jerico with pistol grip shifter for $2K. Better jump on it!
And there's no sense in having a 4-speed in Stock or SS without a good clutch. There are HUGE differences between them, not only in ET but in the "fun factor". PM me if you need more info.
The best thing I ever did in racing was going to a 4-speed. It is so much more fun that I would never consider going back to an auto.

I heard that also. I would say that if you are on the fence on buying one, it would be good to pick one up. I don't think they are buying it to lower the price!!!

If you want to know where to get a great deal on one, let me know. I don't know how long the supply that is out there will last.

Most likely weight. Jerico is about 68 lbs while a G-Force is about 90.

I have a Jerico in the stocker and a G-Force in my SS.
Jerico is around $3200 and a G-Force about $4200.

Biggest difference: customer service. G-Force will have your part in stock and will provide service if needed in a timely fashion. I've personally seen Mike Long take a transmission home from the track on a Sat afternoon and return it on Sunday morning. (You didn't hear that from me....).

Jerico will order your part and get it to you as soon as possible.

These are my experiences.

Don't try to save money on a clutch. Call Youngblood.
