Jim McIlvane is in desperate need of a Richmond 6 speed, 26 spline ASAP. The trans is in a 81 Camaro.

Jim is a photographer and writer for magazines like GM High Tech Performance. Last year, he helped get a road race issue of GMHTP that featured Sam Strano and Glenn Landrum.

Anyone have something like this?

I think you're talking about Turn 5. That's one of the more important turns. When I hit the apex of that turn, I'm just at the bottom of 3rd gear, and I floor it right at the apex. 4th comes halfway between 7 and 8.

I used to be in 2nd coming around 4 and 5, then shifting to 3rd right at Turn 7. I'd hit the limiter before Turn 8, and be shifting in the middle of the turn. I found that, by never going to 2nd, and leaving it in 3rd, I actually was carrying more speed down the straight.

Dang - I really wish I'd have been able to come out there and help you with the course. Or the car. Or help with pretty much anything. I think I'll make sure to not schedule anything a few months in advance next time.
