3rd gear noise

[RICK LAKE]

rich_acc Rich You didnot say how many miles are on this box or your driving prowless. If you are looking for the middle of the road in transmissions, goto a tko 500 or 600. They are stronger than the 5 trans and should bolt right in. I don't know what your gear ratio is but get a trans with a 2.60-2.80 first gear and a nice overdrive in the .80's. IMO a .67 needs a real strong torque motor with alot of grunt down in the 1,500 rpm range. Have to remember that the cobra is a brick going through the air. If money is not a problem and you are racing or driving hard, Super street Richmond and add a trans cooler kit to it. Not cheap but bullet proof to 700hp under consent load. Other thing is you might want to add a trans cooler to which ever trans you go with. When you have spare money, get this trans rebuilt and save it for a spare bullet when you need it. From racing I have learned to carry everything but a spare motor. Trannies, clutches, all ignition parts, center carrier for rearend of Jag unit. You can ask guys that where at the Run& gun, I fixed a few cars and help others repair theirs and keep running. Motor is the only way I go home. Next year may have a spare one of thoses too. Good luck. Go stronger and watch the gear ratios and drops. Rick L.
