I understand. Anyway I still think a 10 in a manual, especially a toppie is quick, you obviously don't agree which is your prerogative

agreed with running a transmax z or 10W-40 oil in your toploader. They dont seem to like heavy oils at high RPMs. Mine has 10W-40 engine oil in it. shifts great at high RPM. survived this long with that oil behind a 550hp windsor.
i may go quicker down the quarter with a histall auto, but nothing beats the sound and feel of a hard shifting, high horsepower manual V8!

Why don't we see top loaders because there 30 years old and we have better now days and they can't handle 1500hp and launches @ 7500 rpm thats why.Your not that silly so why say such a silly comment. Last edited by mex351; 05-04-2013 at 06:48 PM. |

Yep, run auto trans fluid as your gear oil. Its an old trick that I used in the '70's. It also puts lesser loads on bearings and a better load area on the gears. Some blokes have been known to add friction modifier to gear boxes and completely stuffed all synchros in the 'box.
