can crash boxes be retro fitted with airshifters?
 

ive heard of the air shifted crash boxes, but was wondering if the air shifters can be fitted to a non air shifter crash box. how do the air shifted ones work? is there a momentary ign kill during the air shifting process? who sells the air shifted ones? any particular ones to stay away from? thx, rm

Sounds like you're getting really close. Look forward to hearing how she does with the new ponies.

I asked this very question of SCS who manufactures the Crashboxes. I was told they can be retrofitted. I have a pair I am saving to do this with. It was not cheap, however still less than the buying the complete system from SCS. I do not remember all the details so I will try to recall the best I can. The kit has an airpump and a air tank to allow an air cylinder to depress a clutch setup like a top fuel drag race car. Like a car you are in nuetral and can shift the Crashbox. I was given the impression this is a really great setup and unbreakable. I do not think you would need a ignition momentary kill. The release of the clutch with the air cylinder can be slow and slip the clutch like a car. I was very impressed. But I just spent a lot of money on Huber 1550's and if they blow I will go this SCS route. http://www.scsgearbox.com
