Trans shield
I agree... I do my burnouts in second gear only by recommendation of my trans builder , no shifting during. My only trans failure has been when we tried a low first gear set and the other time I had the shifter way out of adjustment. I have never blown one up in 40 years of running 904s just normal wear and tear , my present trans has been in for 6 years with no problems . I have a complete spare ready to go if it fails same with the converter . I only run 11.50s with 60 fts 1.49-1.51 foot braking leaving at 2,000 with a 527 hp 367c.i. small block but I still worry about failures even with the p.i.a. CSR shield and good trans parts. As I said before the shield isn't required for my e.t. but I leave it in for safety . A trans brake is legal in the classes I run my trans builder and I have considered it but imo it just heightens the probability of failure and breakage . I could go to a " glide " with a SFI certified case but I like the way the car leaves and I don't want to change my whole combination. Sure would be nice if someone like A&A or Pro Trans made a SFI certified case for a 904. With all the NHRA Stock and Super Stockers running 904s I am surprised no one makes one.
