Been going thru the old posts about various 4 speed transmissions.
Would like to know the pros and cons of the G-Force and Jerico transmissions.They both offer a good selection of gear ratios.One thing I do like about the Jerico is you can vary the location on the shifter,don't know if you can do that on the G-Force.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS
Call G-Force and ask them. We have been very happy with ours. At the time we considered G-Force, Tex and Jerico and finally decided on the remanufactured G-Force, but at this time I can't remember exactly what brought me to that choice, but we haven't regret it.
They had one out to us in less than a week with all of the gear ratios we needed and it looked brand new. We opted to by one that could be outfitted with a pump just in case we wanted to sell it at some point as that would widen the market to people who use these in road-race cars/trucks.
Don't forget you don't want one like the drag racers use that easily comes out of gear if you get out of the throttle. We got one that I think is called clutch assist, but it has been shifted without the clutch. In '07 we got to the starting line and found out we couldn't disengage the clutch. I pushed Hooley to about 55 and he pulled it in gear and made the other shifts without the clutch and ended up in impound. Instead of trying to mess with the clutch in the limited impound time we left it alone and ran the backup the next morning the same as the day before. He partially spun the car and we didn't get the record, but that was no fault of the G-Force.
A couple years ago someone was suppose to be attending Speed Week that had extra gear sets, but I don't know if that is still the case. They said you could change the sets yourself in a couple hours once you had done it, but we are still running the same gears, though there might be a change for next year.
