We run Pro Trans in ALL our race cars.....It made a dramatic difference
in our performance! Dave is happy to help figure out the optimum ratios for our varied combos. Only a segment of potential possibilities he can build are optimal........Too complicated for my elderly mind. Pro Trans made a significant difference..... Now qualify top 16 rather than towards the middle of the pack with our old junk. I do not know what brand or which eliminator you are running......But if the Smiths build it: It will work RIGHT.

I do not want to name names......It was a major trans builder and we utilized the Alum Drums and Straight cut gears from Protrans in our transmissions ...........trying to save a couple bucks.
I will not poor mouth anyone.........They held up well and the transmissions worked great just not the same performance as Dave Smith builds by a Tenth! Dave has been doing this for 40 plus years that I remember. You buy the BEST........You only cry ONCE!

To add a question into this mix, I have a customer with a McClay 200 he likes to stage at a low rpm, when he hits to trans brake button the car will roll forward. If you bring the RPMs up to 2000 while rolling in to stage it is ok. anybody else fighting this.

I switched to PRO TRANS and was very satisfied so I bought a second one. Sepanek maintains them, you will never find a more reasonable and trusting guy than Jack. Give him a call, he services and builds all types of transmissions and he would be the best one to give you advise on your question. 570-457-6517
