$900? Toms kit was $1350 last I checked. I'm about to buy the kit myself, so if you have some kind of "In" with him I'd like to partake of that!
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I'd take a piece of that action too !!! LOL !!!!$900? Toms kit was $1350 last I checked. I'm about to buy the kit myself, so if you have some kind of "In" with him I'd like to partake of that!
Lol no its a different upgrade. I'm installing a auxiliary transmission. Modifying the input shaft on a stock deuce trans, make some mounts, and new drive shafts. Including the cost of the trans it's about 1200 bucks.$900? Toms kit was $1350 last I checked. I'm about to buy the kit myself, so if you have some kind of "In" with him I'd like to partake of that!
Do you have any diagrams ? Sounds interesting.Basically 25 forward gears and 5 reverse. For most driving the front transmission will be in 4th (1-1) with the rear transmission being the main box.
How are you supporting the input shaft ?Yep 2 of the 3053's. Thought about running a aux box but the cost, and complete inability to find parts, is why I went away from one. Although parts for the 3053 trans are not common, they are cheap and durable.
Having the input shaft cut and splined to accept a fixed yoke. Will either run a short driveshaft or maybe just a ujoint between them. Both transmissions are getting a mount off of the PTO cover to the frame for rigidity (rubber mount)
Search youtube for 3 stick shifting.When I started working on over the road trucks, we had several customers that had 5 - 4 set ups. 5 spd main box with a 4 spd aux box. Made for interesting shifting trying to control both shifters during 1 clutch push... I never got the hang of it but was amazed watching the old timers drive the fool out of them!
In the case of that video he converted a standard single stick to 3 stick.....because trucker.That's why most trucks have air shift on one of the aux boxes.
