Default Re: Manual Transmission reccomendations for SS/L

I guess I'm confused, when someone asks what the 'best' parts are for SS, I don't see why anyone would recommend buying a clutch assisted trans that is slower and wears out quicker when shifted without the clutch. That by definition is not the best. If you want the second best parts, go for it. Also, don't try to race a street trans like a Richmond, they pretty much have to be granny shifted at best and would probably break sooner rather than later. I do agree with the small diameter dual disc set up particularly with small, low horsepower engines but I'm not sure how you could drive it on the street without wearing it out prematurely. I guess you could crank down the base pressure for street driving and loosen it for racing. I still stick with my previous comment that there is no 'best' parts that are going to work on the street. In my particular case, I race a GF5R clutchless with a dual disc set up, very dependable for my application.
