I bought a 64 AH sprite race car last fall. It used to be raced SCCA. It came with a rib case close ratio gear box. Form the get go this spring it has been poping out of 2nd gear under power. I've ha

Have you looked at or changed the 1/2 synchro hub? As I understand gear boxes, the three little ball bearings on the ends of the three little springs inside the synchro hub are what keeps the transmi

Bad news, David. Those trannys are just no good for racing. I have a 196? or 197? Spridget that I race in the SCCA MARRS series. I started with a Supposedly good close ratio box with straight cut rac

Excuse me? Not only don't some clubs allow alternative gearboxes, but people have been running ribcases for ever... Or are just referring to some straight cut gear sets? ____________________________

Roger, Had you read my reply to David a little more carefully instead of firing off a flame, you would have seen that my Spridget is an SCCA car, not a vintage car. In SCCA, any gearbox from any orig

Kind of totally and completely goes against the grain of vintage racing doesn't it? These types of transmissions aren't legal in many clubs, and Ribcase gearboxes can be very reliable up to 130 - 140

in the gears let's it move away from the collar engagement. BTW, do most vintage racers use Richmond/Hewland or whatever gear boxes? They certainly weren't available or legal in any "vintage" period

What all this talk about Bungee Cords and so on. Not bloody vintage if you ask me! In my day we used a good proper piece of sash cord. Elastic materials? What's the world coming to?
