Years ago, racers chose manual transmissions due to their robust strength, being able to control the engine rpm at the launch and the fact that automatics were far from efficient nor practical in performance applications. Today, automatics can hold their own with sticks for the most part, but the venerable manual transmissions are still the choice for many a hot rodder and track racer.

Lokar has been known for its high-quality line of automatic shifters for years, so it certainly made sense when the company introduced the AxiShift to stir manual gearboxes. The AxiShift allows you to position the shift lever to precisely fit your application and comfort.

Two attachment options are available, providing 360-degrees of rotation and 15-degrees of tilt so you can find the ideal location. The shifters are machined from high-strength steel for extreme durability and are available to bolt onto the control lever of a Tremec TKO 500 and 600. The AxiShift Pro is a complete assembly designed to replace the original control lever.

Hanlon Motorsports, out of Elverson, Pennsylvania, has been adapting and building five-speed swaps for muscle cars long before it was embraced by OEM suppliers. They now offer an affordable alternative for a five-speed swap with their TREMEC 3650 conversion system.

The 3650 transmission enjoyed a 10-year OEM run in GT Mustangs ending with the 2011 model. Hanlon goes through the entire trans, updating the weak links with performance components and adds a billet adapter ring/cover plate allowing the trans to be used behind other engines. Three levels of builds are available, including a very economical starting point up to a trans that will handle up to 1,000 horsepower!

So, your hot is all set with oodles of horsepower backed by a new five-speed and a fresh posi in the rear. But have you considered whether the link between the trans and the rearend can handle the power and pending speed shifts? You probably should check in with Inland Empire Driveline before dumping the clutch and grabbing those gears.

Inland specializes in transferring power with their custom driveshafts. Every driveshaft is built to order using steel, aluminum or even composite materials. They also manufacture a variety of forged chrome moly yokes to fit GM, Mopar, and Ford components and can help build your shaft every step of the way including polyurethane cushion center supports.

First, make sure the engine, trans, and rearend are mounted in their final location and have the vehicle sitting with all four wheels on the ground. Measure from the tip of the trans output shaft to the centerline of the pinion U-joint. Next, measure from the tip of the trans output shaft back to the seal on the trans housing. For the U-joint, measure between the pinion yoke centering tabs, then the U-joint cap seat.

Choosing the right clutch for your hot rod, and following the installation process completely, is imperative in producing millions of trouble-free shifts. Advanced Clutch Technology, known simply as ACT, offers up to 28 different pressure plate and disc combinations to suit mild street rides to full-on track use.

ACT engineers every application including designing entirely new diaphragms and pressure plate faces. These components are all manufactured, never rebuilt from used parts, which is important in producing stronger torque holding capacities ranging in improvements from 20- to 400-percent.

Lucas offers their 85W-140 gear oil which shares the same technology they developed in making their popular Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer supplement. This formula is fortified with special anti-wear agents and lubricity agents to control wear and drag as well as special additives to control heat which are not found in ordinary gear oils. The 85W-140 is ideal for performance hot rods, classics and on the track.

The Power Module, M-9000-PMCM3, is supplied with a complete engine controller and wiring harness to support the aluminum powerhouse Coyote as well as the six-speed, which features a 2.66:1 first gear ratio. The assembly comes with a Quick Time steel bellhousing, roller pilot bearing, clutch kit, and dual mass billet flywheel.

Between the engine and the trans is that extremely important connection called the bellhousing. A bellhousing needs to be accurately designed in order to have the trans and clutch components aligned precisely. It also needs to be strong to keep your toes and legs safe in the rare case of a driveline failure (more so for racing applications). One company that lives up to each of these specs is Quick Time.

Quick Time bellhousings are designed for an accurate fit due to a unique manufacturing process where the cones are spun, not rolled or stamped. Built of high-grade steel, the assemblies deliver over 80,000psi strength, double that of other housings, and are 100-percent built in the USA. Working on something a little different? Give Quick Time a call to develop a custom assembly!

The Blackjack Shifter housings are CNC-machined from billet 6061 aluminum, and then finished with a tough black MIL-Spec anodized finish. For positive-yet-quiet operation, a Delrin pivot ball is used along with hardened chrome moly pins. A Hurst-engraved chrome flat bar stick is provided and topped with a classic, muscle car style white shift ball.

Looking for a high-quality twin-disc clutch system that is ideal for everyday use yet can handle spirited excursions on the track? The clutch gurus at Centerforce offer their new Solid Street Twin system for engines producing 400 to 925 lb-ft of torque. The SST 10.4-inch discs utilize solid hubs to reduce the rotational weight on the input shaft for quick, clean shifts and the discs are built using high-quality friction materials for smooth engagement and longevity.

The Gear Vendors Overdrive unit is a compact auxiliary transmission that bolts to the back of your existing trans (such as a Top Loader, Mopar 833, Muncie or T-10). From there, Gear Vendors can give your vehicle up to twice the forward gear ratios as it splits the gears, keeping the engine rpm in the powerband through the shifts and when it comes to shifting into overdrive, your 4.10 gears will cruise like 3.20s (or a set of 3.55s will cruise like a set of 2.77s). And all of these benefits can be yours without even pulling the bellhousing or moving your shifter.

Tremec transmissions, such as the TKO 500 and 600, are known for their robust quality and are favorites of hot rodders and builders, not to mention the Detroit Three for modern muscle cars. Tremec leverages this experience to serve the automotive enthusiast and sportsman racing communities.

Their Hydramax clutch system is based on a unique adjustable master cylinder bracket, which can be set up to mimic any original clutch rod angle to produce a smooth, modern clutch feel without hacking up your firewall. The Hydramax systems are designed to work with original and aftermarket pedals and are available for most vintage four-speeds along with popular Tremecs, Richmonds, and other modern overdrive sticks.

The Super T10 is an upgraded version of the famous Borg-Warner trans and is ideal for a muscle car, classic truck, or street rod. The T-10 is rated up to 375 lb-ft of torque, features a close-ratio gear set including a low first gear, along with a strong side lever rail shift mechanism. If you plan to see more track day use, consider the Super T-10 Plus with brass synchro assemblies and a billet front bearing retainer. The Super T-10s are available for Chevy, Buick, Olds and Pontiac V8s with several gear ratio combinations.

The billet aluminum assembly is light weight with plenty of strength to row the gears. The shifter stub has an offset of 2-inches forward or backward from the pivot point along with an optional offset toward the driver if needed. The shifter plates are anodized and easy to install with new hardware and a high-temp, lower-dust oil boot.

Radar altimeters (or radio altimeters) have been used on aircraft since the mid-1950s. Together with barometric pressure altimeters and more recently GPS and radio timing positioning systems, radar altimeters are a critical part of modern aircraft avionics that increase flight safety, reliability and capability.

Radar altimeters are primarily used during flight at altitudes below 5000 feet and are key tools for critical maneuvers, including take-off and landing approaches. Low flying aircraft, like helicopters and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), rely on radar altimeters (RA) for nearly all operations. UAV and some manned aircraft may be operated remotely, consequently the success of the mission and safety of the passengers and crew are dependent on the accuracy and performance of the RA. Verifying performance and calibrating RAs quickly and reliably take place at RA manufacturing sites, calibration centers and flight line avionics depots. The capability of the necessary test equipment varies based on the site. For example, during RA product development and qualification, detailed testing over a variety of environmental and performance conditions are necessary, whereas flight line testing may only include verification test at a few altitudes. Calibration requires NIST-traceable standards testing to ensure accuracy. Depending upon the test site and requirements, a variety of test tools may be selected, based on cost, capability, ease of use and reliability. Eastern OptX has produced equipment for use in each of these applications and has optimized the performance to meet the testing needs with rugged and competitive systems.
