Burnout?
Has anybody ever heard of shifting during a burnout hurts the transmission?

Re: Burnout?
Three speed transmissions should only use 2nd and high in the water. .....the sprag ,or over running clutch in a three speed can be damaged when shocked in the water. .....Other than that , shift away ! ......Tom

Re: Burnout?
I would think with basically no load the burnout would be easier on the trans than the actual shifting going down the track.

Re: Burnout?
Several years ago I was at West Palm Beach and Roy Hill was down there with his Pro Mod car. He was parked about 50 feet from where I was parked and because I drive Fords he came over and we talked a while. I guess he had a little interest in what I was doing and later after a run he came over and told me I was doing my burnout wrong. He said that most people do. He said that all I needed to do was, in his words, make them round and dry. He also said with a glide do a high gear only burnout and not do it as hard as you see most people do. Starting in high gear has the wheel speed up right away. I started doing my burnouts that way and have been doing them that way ever since. I saw that weekend after doing it my car started being more consistant in 60' and I get great life out of a set of slicks. The harder the burnout, the more of a temperature change in the tire, which over time will change the compound of the tire. I hope this info helps.
