1. What do I need to do to recertify my Superglide Transmission case?
You must remove and send in your cleaned transmission case and liner to be inspected and recertified every 5 years. The charge is $75.00 plus shipping back to you and the process takes approximately one week. Send the transmission case with liner to:

The adjustment bolt's purpose is to soften the shock on the tires when the transbrake is released. As the bolt is turned in (clockwise) it simply restricts the dump passage for the reverse piston. Slowing the fluid flow by restricting this passage during transbrake release "slips" the reverse clutches for a fraction of a second softening the transbrake release and slowing the reaction time.
There are a total of 7 complete turns worth of adjustment. If you bottom out the bolt and back it out 7 complete revolutions you will be at the wide open position (hardest release, quickest reaction time). This is where most racers run the adjustment. If you wish to try and soften the hit, start by turning the bolt in one complete revolution at a time until you get close, then fine tune from there. The "sweet spot" for the adjustment bolt when being used to soften the hit, is generally 4 to 6 turns in from wide open (1 to 3 turns out from fully closed). Up to .03 in reaction time can be changed by adjusting the bolt from wide open to fully closed.
