Three speed trans

[THE PIPER]

Hi guys, Just ready to up grade to the three speed transmission. Guys that have them what do you think? Is it worth the investment? is there better tork and top speed? Any info would be great. Cheers!!:cheers:

I really like mine. It deffanetly gave a bit more bottom end and a bit more top end. Also, it allows you to cross the power band 3 times instead of 2 and it does pull more consistantly and shifts smoother. Hope this sums it up.

I have to agree with larson.There is a real noticable differance off the line and top speed.They also make a differant gearing option now http://www.hpiracing.com/products/en/77065.html

i've been contimplating the 3 speed for a while now, my only question is how much more diffucult is it to adjust shift points?

Yea what they said..

They sound cool to when it shifts .. Just make sure you have a ez access tranny case or adjusting the shift points will be a pain.

I used my original 2 speed case worked good easy to adjust

Yes use the X case as it makes the 1-2 gear shift easier to change because the top comes off and you can pull the gear sets out to adjust, If you have the old case then you have to take the trans compleatly out and apart to adjust. Really with the X case its easy. To asjust the 2-3 gear shift its easy as it is for the 2 speed changing the 1-2 shift point.
Its about a 15 minuet job with the X case and about 45 minuets with the old cases.

I have really noticed the bottom end difference. Top end: not so much. I will be upgrading to the high speed 3rd gear as soon as it is available.

Better than OEM gears and easy installation on the 4.6X

I noticed better bottom end and it seems to reach its top speed much quicker. As far as top end, I do notice a little more top end. HPI sells a different 3rd gear that allows for even more top end.
