I would like to get involved with someone thats been there, done that so to speak.

Wade I'm unaware of any classes to attend. You can talk to a number of stick racers to get you on the right track. That's what I did. They will get you in the ballpark and then you adjust from there. There have been many discussions on here about this.

1. Trans most S/SS guys run a Jerico or a G-Force(You can run a Liberty IF you have a wheel barrel full of cash.

2. Clutch there are many choices most run a Youngblood or a McLeod. My McLeod was done by Hyatt. There is also Hays, Ram, etc simply ask around about this as well. I have found guys have run different clutches and like a particular one.

3. Shifter most run a Long pistol grip, T-handle, etc

4. The truth is the softer you can run the clutch and still be fast the longer everything else will last. To much clutch and you will be spending $$$$$$$$$$$

5 A couple races ago a friend of mine lost a trans(ProTrans or whatever) he said it was around 4000.00 not a big difference between the two
