I was wondering if anyone uses automatic transmissions on road courses. I remeber there was a few autoxers that did several years ago. It's not that I don't want to go to a T5 or even T56, I'm just doing the bad thing I do & think too much about stuff! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I even have a Hurst shifted T10 with everthing for the 74 camaro.

Stan is that a 4 speed, Or did they start making 5 speeds. I remember looking inside of a jerico once, Wow I thought my brother inlaw's rock crusher (M22) was beefy.

I can only afford a 4 speed. The 5 speeds are about 6k$ IIRC.

I felt such a pussy being the only guy at the track with an auto. I might have overcompensated with the Jerico, but it's fun.

I was sick of the sloppyness of the auto but mostly the leaking. 60 lb weight reduction is cool too.

Scott (Roadracetransam) has ran an 4L60E for quite some time and had good results (5th at nationals and 2nd or 3rd in is region in TTB). Maybe he'll chime in.



ERVRCG, interesting info about the calcs. I guess that confirms my theory.
