B & J and Quickdrive - need for neutral

Putting an early B & J three speed behind a brand new quick drive - do I need to convert the reverser to have a neutral?
Other racers start the car in top with the trans brake on, and only use neutral to tow back after the run? Can you not tow back in gear with a quick drive?

 

Thanks Will
Sounded a bit sus to me, but my mate is a good racer and does it to save transbrake clutches.
Can you tow a converter car in gear after the run?

 

The older Quickdrive was hydraulic or fluid driven. I fought a problem that would burn up the brake clutches when the pressure built up on a run. It turned out that the apply valve was worn enough to by-pass fluid and apply the brake. The brake is hydraulic so it will not hold the car until it has pressure from the pump. The new version is air operated so it will work. When I would burn up the brake I would start in gear but could not shift to reverse, Had to have a short burnout. The conversion is expensive but worth it.

 

Has anyone got an early transbrake for a quick drive. Mine is broke and need a 12 volt one.

 

What do you need. I'm pretty sure I have the stuff left over from when I had mine converted.

 

All it takes to have a neutral in the reverser is to cut the forward hub down .160". Some transmissions may need to use a shorter slide gear as well. Call Mike at B&J and he can help you out.
