Hahaha! Nice to hear! Actaully I cant take credit for the tubes! That would be Paul Swindlehurst and Terry Kostick. I did do a fair amount of welding though on other parts but my main focus was machined parts and engineering. I had a weird role, I was a machinist/welder/fabricator/designer/engineer.. talk about lots of hats to wear! I was going to ask you which gearbox you had in that one, but i read down the comments and you have the Hewland. We used to run Wiseman gearboxes but switched to the Hewland... STA-200 if memory serves... We had re redesign the whole bellhousing, clutch stackup and related hardware when we did that. Did you get that chassis with the Gleason diff or the 9-inch?

Oh the good old days when you could watch the Trans-am series on TNN, I also got to see many trans-am races at Mosport and always loved the sound of these things (20 or so)coming down through turn 4 into Moss on the first lap.
Keen driving skills and one terrific sounding Ford. I was fortunate enough to see many of the mid '80s TA races when Roush cars were commonly finishing 1-2-3. Thank you very much for taking me along for the race at Elkhart Lake. Never been there to see it in person. Wow what a great ride it was. Thanks again. Cobra Mike
It's a Weismann or Hewland 5-speed H-pattern with dog tooth engagement, hence why the driver doesn't need to clutch when shifting if driving at racing speeds. It's fun to hear them being shifted like sequentials!
@@Vincetagram Well there is a clutch, but once you are rolling you don't need it. you have to match the gear with the engine RPM and the road speed. If you look look at the video, every time he downshifts you will notice that he blips the throttle up at each downshift. He does that so he gets the up RPM up to where he can catch the next gear without grinding. Upshifting is much easier, where you lift off the throttle and shift the gear, its a matter of timing and a strong arm. Its not as easy as he makes it look!

Theres a lot of me in that car! I remember it well, worked many hours on that chassis! Glad someone is taking good care of it!
Thanks, Jon! Still a lot of magic in those tubes. Thanks for welding it in!

Wouldnt mind picking your brain about some of this stuff , IE front suspension design on these.
Jon, What was unusual about Kendal's rear suspension in '96
@@almcconahay9064 Sorry just saw this. Lots of things, but if memory serves, 3-link monoball rear suspension, and a Torsen live axle.
The combination of engine and transmission sound is gloriously symphonic.
I currently own an sn-95 and have been obsessed with them all my life so I hope you can understand how I almost cried when I realized these existed
I like how you can see the throttle modulation above the dashboard. nice car and great driving

awesome video thanks
What a beast. These Roush Mustangs are fantastic. Great driving too.
What transmission is that? I don't see the Driver use the Clutch. It certainly has straight cut gears from the sound

Its a Hewland STA-200
Can you record more on boards of this car? I saw you once at road America and you where just dominating everybody.
Where can someone find one of these cars to purchase?
It is a Hewland 5 speed gearbox.
Fantastic. I hope to race on Road America some day.
Clutchless? What trans did they run in these cars?
It has a clutch, but its a non-synchronous gearbox so you have to be a smooth brute!
Jon Benavides wait how does this work?

did they make a diecast model of this?
Yes, GMP made a 1:18th scale die cast model of this car.
I'm not sure if they did or not, I can go check at the museum and see its just across the street
