  Sparky, another good place might be Insidecompracing.com as the CS-3 is frequently used by Comp Eliminator Racer's and I believe their site has want ads.
  One more place would be in National Dragster want ads however I don't know if it is even published any more.                 Bob

  Sparky, are you sure He doesn't have a CS-1?  I was unaware that any Lenco's other than the CS-1 came with the coarse spline.
  My CS-3 was built in 1994 and has fine splines so his must be a early early one...............  Bob

Sparky,

Ask Al if the shift towers are located in the center of the transmission or if they are located off center by an inch or two. The CS1 does not have a ratio that he is looking for, as they start at 1.25-1 and go up. Like Bob I never thought they made the later models in 6 spline gear sets.

Went to see Al and his lakester --- the shift towers are in the center and the gears are 1" wide---he picked up a book some where  it has the gear ratios of both trans in it

  Sparky, 1" gears means it is a CS-1.  a CS-2 uses 3/4" gears so the cases are shorter, and the CS-3 uses 1/2" gears and is the smallest with the least drag and horsepower loss.
  My CS-3 5 speed is one inch longer than my CS-1 4 speed, just enough that I have to chop my driveshaft for the fourth time (T-10, Owens 3 speed, Lenco 4 speed, and now the 5 speed).  Just to add insult to injury, the driveshaft shop won't balance it without new u-joints that they furnish......................... :-P
