I hear rumor of "clutchless" manual transmissions, not planetary (Lenco type) transmissions.
My understanding is a planetary will probably slow down when compared to a Jerico / G-Force type transmission.
I would be all for it. The transmission looks identical to it's clutch type twin. It's only the internals that are different. Automatics can change everything, look at a Pro-Trans and all of their modifications. Then there are e-shifts, trans-brakes, etc.
Stick racers should have the same benefits and that includes clutch releases comparable to trans-brakes.
