If you have this installed on a THM400, does the overdrive gear kick in automatically when you reach a certain rpm? By the same token, does it switch off automatically when you slow down and start in first gear again?
@troykane Жыл бұрын
Good question. The unit can be manually shifted into OD or out of OD. If you leave the unit on "automatic" in other words in OD all the time time, what happens is it is shifted by the speed sensor. Below 45 MPH no OD. When you reach 45 MPH it will automatically shift into OD. Hope that was helpful. Good luck

With the gear vendors did it change the driveshaft angle alot as opposed to the original setup if I remember reading the gear vendors adds up to 12 inches to the transmission setup

Good question. It did change the driveline angle. But, with the adjustable suspension I could change the pinion angle.

@@troykane I would be concerned about this also, seems like a bit of weight for such a long skinny tail housing. With the gear vendors hanging off of it I would think there would be a lot of deflection and possibly crack the tail housing. Especially bottoming out on a rough road, which I know that car has no business on but it's a concern. An additional crossmember with a flexible mount just to support the weight but allow twist might be a good idea.

Awesome video Troy. Loved to have seen how you setup the wiring inside, is there a switch for split shifting? What I’m talking about is do you have to cut the switch off and on each time you shift, if you follow what I’m trying to ask. Thanks for your videos 👍
@troykane3 жыл бұрын
There is a dimmer style switch on the floor to switch in and out of OD. The unit will shift by itself if you leave the swith on, so when you slow to a stop it drops out, when you re accelerate it shifts up. Sorry, I never made a wiring video. Thanks for the comment.
