What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

[Snoranger]

Again... why!?!?!?! What practical use is there for that?

I can tell you the YXZ feels very stable around 90. I’ve never had one into triple digits.

It's kinda like having a 6.5 creedmor to punch holes in paper?

Your argument is invalid as the paper is too far away for much else to punch holes in it... .338LM, 408 cheytec, .50bmg, maybe .300wsm and .300rum.... the paper must die so 6.5 creedmoor is absolutely neccessary. Doing 100 in an ATV is not.

That makes absolutely no cantaloupe.

There’s a lot of things in life that aren’t necessary, but they’re still fun.

I got it to 45 today when I unloaded it and she said that was as fast as she ever wanted to go. Now I may push it a little faster in the right situation. It felt real stable though. Ran out of yard to go any faster and being the chief of police lives 3 houses down didnt want to get out screaming down my road that has a 20mph speed limit

Just give him the keys... he will tell you how fast it will go.

Ask him to use his radar gun and help you calibrate the speedo... the manufacturer recommends calibration at 75mph.

Your brand new transmission shifts that way because people like you expect them to. If you bought a new vehicle and it shifted hard you would insist something was wrong with it so manufacturers specifically set the shift timing for smoothness.

But smooth shifts mean the clutches and bands are being very slowly engaged and released which makes a ton of heat since they are slipping. Heat kills automatic transmissions. Fast hard shifts keep the transmission cooler so there is less physical wear happening.

So once again, you like smooth shifts, the transmission does not. There's nothing wrong with your transmission but it's designed poorly from the factory so you can go "wow I didn't even feel it shift"

So you probably like straight cut gear transmissions? No need for fluff…

I had one once. Muncie M22 Rock Crusher in a 1970 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400. It was a crazy bad ass car. Had 4.11 gears, and on the highway it was 20 mph for every 1000 rpms. Wasn't top end fast, but it sure got there quick.

My 2006 Suzuki M1800R has straight cut gears. You can always tell a motorcycle that has them, it whines like it has a blower. Helical cut gears are quieter, straight cut gears are stronger.

Vortech superchargers offers two choices on them, straight or helical cut gears. If you don't want some whine with your cheese, get the helical gears. If you like whining, go straight.
