Default The Crossfire is 2 for 3 now

Took the XF to it's third show today and came away with a 3rd place award in the '96 to Present class. A lot of interest in the car today, I hope I gave everyone the correct answers since I am still learning about the car. One gentleman asked me which MB tranny was in the car and I drew a blank. I directed him here because the last thing I want to do is give out bad information. The class was a Mopar clean sweep with a 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T taking first and a 2011 Challenger R/T winning second place.

For later ref: from Wikipedia

The Mercedes-Benz 5G-TRONIC (also called 722.6) is an electronically shifted 5-speed overdrive automatic transmission. It is in the process of being replaced by the Mercedes Benz 7G-Tronic Transmission which was introduced in 2003. However, all V12-powered cars such as the S600 and S65 AMG still retain the 5G-Tronic, which has a torque capacity of 796 lb-ft, as the newer 7G-Tronic is limited to 542 lb-ft, not enough to handle the torque from the V12 engine.[1] Also, while rear-wheel drive W211 E-Class cars have adapted the 7G-Tronic, those with 4MATIC retain the five-speed automatic, although the current generation W212 E-Class released for the 2010 model year has dropped the 5G-Tronic entirely, except for four-cylinder models.
In Chrysler applications this transmission is identified as the New Automatic Gearbox- Generation One, or NAG1.


The Chrysler NSG370 is a six-speed overdrive manual transmission sourced from Mercedes. It is Jeep's first six-speed manual transmission and Chrysler's second after the Dodge Viper T-56.
The NSG370 does not use standard gear oil for lubrication. This transmission utilizes bronze synchronizer collars resulting in sensitivity to lubricant make-up. Only a fluid characterized by Chrysler specification MS-9224 should be used in order to avoid premature wear or failure of internal parts as well as voiding the factory warranty. [1] Pennzoil Synchromesh is one such petroleum based lubricant.[2]
Common synthetic alternatives to the factory Mopar-branded conventional lubricant are Royal Purple's Synchromax and Red Line Oil's MTL. The synthetic alternatives often improve shifting performance while decreasing internal wear and noise.
It features a 14mm hex fill plug on the passenger side and a 17mm hex drain plug on the bottom (with a strong magnet for attracting metal flakes).
Gear ratios:
1 2 3 4 5 6 R
4.46 2.61 1.72 1.25 1.00 0.84 4.06

Applications:
Keep up the great Rep!

Congrats on the award, it's always nice to be noticed. I took a second this weekend but they still have trouble figuring out the right class. I was in Special Interest which included 3 Cobra Replicas, a Dodge Shelby Rampage, several other modified sports cars, a BMW Isetta and last but not least a highly modified, open pipe tractor pulling rig with huge paddle type tires. The Isetta won, which was appropriate. I put in a suggestion for a class for 2 seaters, foreign and domestic, which would put me in an even playing field. There were at least 9 2 seaters there, spread around 5 classes and 3 won awards in different classes. A 1959 Merc sports car won his class, he was with the Japanese tuner cars. LOL Still, they are fun and I win more than my share.

Well, I wish you good luck, you deserve it for all the help you give out on this forum. If you win and the wifes' Vette doesn't, do you sleep on the porch? Our Iron Heritage days are in July, the first T-rail in America was produced in the Danville iron mill.

Well thank you for the words of encouragement .

I'll still get to sleep in the bed.. lol. But wife will probably give me an blank check for vette bling..

Really are some interesting little facts about towns and history with them. I've lived here for 18 years and just hooked up with the Heritage committee and finding all sorts of neat history tidbits.

Except for time in the Navy and college, my entire 66 years were here and I'm still learning things. For instance, if iron mill owner hadn't turned down offer to use the Bessemer process to make steel, Danville would be a huge city and Pittsburg would be a small town(No Steelers, Pirates or Penguins). Glad it worked out that way, I like the small town. Oh, and let us know how things go at the show.
