20-30# less rotating mass(one less CS) will more then likely make it quicker to shift.

I've seen that 20+ yrs ago at local track. Likely a newer version driven by Bill.

I'mI had to go look at my 5 spd. Yes, the CS's are 120* apart making them equal load carrying. I didn't think it was. Though mine is only 2, the top drivers is missing. My Liberty race transmission is a twin CS and it is also timed. It's like jewelry and I love to just stare at it! The most badass racing transmission made. It allows this to happen...

I have the ratios. 8.59, 4.99, 2.83, 1.66, 1, R 8.13

Those are 1076, 1078 which can't be right. Mine is just a 107. They must have lo split because you would never start out with only a 5.xx ratio first?? Geoff, I don't think physical placement is that critical, as the countershafts are being pushed away, so I don't think there is uneven forces on anything. As long as the countershafts don't deflect, it all accepts a load. In a single countershaft, they both try to deflect, which is the cause of a failure. Putting the main shaft in the center of all three would keep it centered and as typical if the CS's don't deflect they will fine. Macks are in a Y shape, but the two on the side are level with main shaft as it would make the case even larger if not. Eaton or such likely just makes them 180* for ease of assembly or just physical transmission shape?

Google is lost, can't find anything listing the actual ratios of this box. It brought me back here but it lists everything but the old 5 spd. This is all research for my 300+ project this winter. I'm also curious why this is just a twin countershaft and not a Triple? Granted it was a reman and wonder if they removed one? Thanks.

Maybe a truck pull front weight box??? You know, with the rollers on it????🤔

I seem to need to make some adjustments as my front tires don't seem to be wearing out like they used to..... Muncie Dragway this past weekend.

I lost three close people in my life to alcoholism, so I have no real taste for it. Never could do strong stuff, I could hold a beer in my hand when I was in college and going out to bars was cool. I remember being at a girls party back in mid 90s, and they kept pushing more beer towards me. I learned if I just filled my empty with water it was "always full" and they would leave me alone. 😉

Just telling my sister yesterday that we have turned into our parents. Bitching about the younger generation. 😆 My niece has tattoos all over her (ugh). That is what younger(32) people think about today. Friday night I took my 69f100 out to pick up pizza. I walk in and this young man says " that truck is sexy". Cool, badass, sweet, but never sexy. Again, it is a young thing today.

What in the F did I just try to watch for 10 seconds??? My favorite line from Terminator 2: "We're not going to make it, are we?".

Cars had similar oil cups in that time frame. I always just used regular motor oil. Most had a piece of felt that absorbed the oil and wiped it onto the bushing.

I spent my weekend making toothpicks out of thirty 60ft trusses that friend couldn't use for his new garage. He ordered them 5 yrs ago, been tarped, but many were junk and new builder has his own lumber coming. Real expensive toothpicks .....

We had a dose of summer then back to "Sprinter"(spring-winter). Ugh.

One tight exh valve could have been hanging open, loosing compression and causing the smoke? It's a stretch,but plausible.
