BigBlockKid Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Anyone know if the 3 speed tranny for the savage is any good????? I know makers claims of 10%, 10% ,10% speed accelleration and torque, but has anyone got one fitted and are they all they are cracked up to be?????????

Merlin Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 My first impression of the 3-speed box wasn't that good TBH, i defiantely noticed more bottom end and torque right through, but it just meant for more wheelies, and the truck was difficult to lay the power on, but after having a little tinker with the shift points, and mainly seeing it up against a 2-speed 4.6, it is DEFINATELY quicker all round, i am now putting one also in the collari .30 sav i'm building because of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlockKid Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 so basically were talking about fitting and tinkering till you get the balance you want??? and is it worth the £70 rrp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waz Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Yep, well you could always get the kit for 45 but I'd rather pay an extra 15 quid and get a whole gearbox. (I've seen it around for 60 quid). Basically you'd get a car thats 10% faster, and has 10% more tourque, but because of the revised gear 2 you get a massive differance in mid end speed/tourque, oh, and you have the coolness of it shifting twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 And the gears are the hardend ones, so a tougher box too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samari Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I've only heard good things about them, there were a few strength issues with the early ones but these seem to have been ironed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
