Okay... my Jimmy's "full race" trans, now with about 16-1700 miles on it, has developed a 2-3 flare or "slide shift". Hopefully due to making a little more power in this car! The 1-2 (which I took to Jimmy to fix once already) shifts very nice and the fluid still smells fresh.
So... having read the "fixes" for this problem from other threads, my questions are: is the drum upgrade I would need the billet "forward" drum? It's about $400, isn't it? If I get the drum and take the tranny to a local tranny shop or builder (Jimmy's is 200 miles one way) specifying the remedy suggested here is this something that they should be able to handle? I would tell them to touch nothing other than what I am asking them to, 'cept maybe check the clutches for wear.
Thanks for helping the "transmissionally challenged" such as myself!
