Drive Train

Use the hyperlinks below to get to the detailed drive train information you want.  The goal from the beginning has been to maintain the SlowGT drive train in a configuration as close as possible to the factory combination.  Therefore, SlowGT transmits the engine power through a manual transmission, a Ford aluminum drive shaft and a factory (though heavily reinforced) 8.8 inch rear end.  The drive train is stout enough to handle more than 150 launches at 7,100 rpm during the '98-'00 season; all in the low 10 to low 11 second range (depending on altitude).  All components were specified and installed by Mike himself.  In this section of the site, we will outline what has been done to make the drive train transfer the power and live a long time.  We begin with the clutch and will proceed to describe the entire drive train.  Be sure to check this page frequently as we will be updating it regularly over the next couple of months.
