McClay ,Pro Trans, Coan
Anyone have any experience back to back testing any of these ? I know all of them are great pieces along with some others that build metrics . The Coan , Protrans , A-1 , The 350 Turbo's have more gear ratios to choose from maybe the only advantage or could any be faster then the metrics

Re: McClay ,Pro Trans, Coan
If you have a car with a lot of steam get six pinion planetary sets installed. It will save you money. The Smith family, ProTrans, makes some really great trans and parts.

Re: McClay ,Pro Trans, Coan
The Pro trans with the new version of the ATI 350 case.
Some nice changes that will be worth while if your buying new. If your on the used market buy the Pro Trans. JMHO

Re: McClay ,Pro Trans, Coan
In Div. one it's tough to beat Jack Sepanek's trany's. He is at most of the races and is always willing to help you out with any issues. I have used both Pro Trans and McClay's in the past. Both are really good pieces but I feel Jack's stuff was even a little faster. Most reputable racing trany shops can build a great trany. It's up to you how much you are willing to spend. I agree with John's father buy the best you can once. BP
