I know guys with 400+ runs on a Jerico and wonder if a clutchless trans would last that long. Not arguing with you here, just trying to learn something.

I'd have to disagree about having the same clutch setup for both trans. I ran a much softer setup with the clutchless, alot less "hit" on the gear change than the clutch assisted. As for the trans, guys saying you must have clutch slip in the gear change that mostly is to cover their *****, less hit means less damage. I've been through it, the clutch guys say one thing so you don't burn up their clutches, then the trans, guys say exactly the opposite so you don't hurt the trans.Been there done that. I can only say from my stand point I used up $300 worth of fluid and clutches this year with a tweak over 100 runs. That same number of runs with my G-force would have used over $1200 worth. Buy a Faceplate and a slider a few times, it adds up. Now, Do I hang a cluch pedal in the stang? Joe
