Ford Mustang Clutch Masters Drivetrain Upgrade - Project ProCharged Pony - Geared, Gripped And Ready To Rip
Once the trans is in, the crossmember and exhaust system can be reinstalled. Don't forget to fill the transmission up with fluid if you haven't already.
The second part to getting down the track in a timely fashion is this Pro 5.0 ring and pinion. The 3.55:1 gearset sells for $199.00 and will be bathing in Castrol synthetic gear oil. The small white gear from Down's Ford will make sure the speedometer is correct.
We don't plan to show you the whole gearset installation, but here's where you get started. Well-used gear oil has to be one of the nastiest odors. Try to avoid getting it on clothing or storing oil-saturated parts near your living quarters as it will stink them up quite easily.
For a good contact surface with whisper-quiet operation, set the backlash between .004-.007-inch.
Downs Ford in Toms River, New Jersey, supplied us with this 23-tooth speedo gear. Each gear ratio has its own unique correction gear. Different transmissions will also decide which correction gear you will need. Retail for the unit is $15.
Icing the intake should be a part of any dragstrip test, especially when you are heating the air up with a supercharger. Our ATI unit utilizes an air-to-air intercooler to remedy this, but icing the intake will still do wonders.
Clutch Masters recommends a minimum break-in period of 400-500 miles during which you should take it easy and avoid compression braking. After that time is up, you can let it rip at will. Despite not having much glue on the track, the FX 300 and BFG drag radials planted the power to the ground.
