I use two toggle switches.
Both up=1st
1 down=2nd
1 and 2 down=3rd
1 up 2 down=4th

do it for pretend and you will see it's pretty simple.

Not playing word games, just didn't want someone to think they could have done what we did for $3,000. There is much more to it.

Well IPT told me $2875 for the treatment (this includes the rebuild, cryo, etc). You guys had your Xfer case and a 9" converter made at 1k a pop each. Factor in the end clutch packs, shift kit, and the electro shifter and yea you are at $6,000-$7,00 bucks.

You should be so kind as to tell folks that you went ALL out on your auto. We wouldn't want folks to think that you need all of that for a 9b, 15g, or td05 car. As stated your needs, Nelson's needs, and the needs of a street car, or Joe Public differ

How much was that?

The front diff was about $800-1000 if I remember correctly. Ours can be used with the TT axles also.

When my car goes down the dragstrip, when I shift, you do not hear any loss of boost.... it holds because the shift is so fast. That is a big advantage. You barely see the boost gauge drop a half pound.

Most of the fastest cars in the world, drag cars, etc, are a form of ATX, as machines and computers do it better than humans.

you dont lose boost because the throttle doesnt close. most of the fastest cars are sequentially shifted or air shifted manuals wtih slipping clutches.

3sx...dont you mean to say you bought an IPT trans and then reverse engineered it so you can build your own now?

nope
we actually just rebuilt the ATX to our specs using different clutches and internal parts. It's nothing like the IPT tranny, which consequantly we went thru two of. So it was time to try building it ourselves. So far so good.

Unless you drop 1000lbs from your car, a street cars needs at half the power of 3sx is still going to require the full treatment and anybody on TD04s cant afford the lost power going auto

You open alot of questions with your statements.

Just so people don't get the wrong idea about another company

What went wrong with the 2 IPT trans ?
What are you doing different then IPT ?
Was cost savings the reason to do your own trans ? , or was it requierments that couldn't be met by them ?

As a customer of IPT, would you recomend them ? why or why not
