SS/GT classes transmission?

mannymen · 06-16-2020, 10:37 AM

In the GT classes do u have the option to run either an auto or manual trans, for any engine combination? Example can u run an auto behind a 302 Chevy. Just not clear in the rule book

Thank You

Mark is correct.
The transmission had to be available with the engine combination.

Other examples are the Ford Boss 302 and Boss 351; they were manual trans only.

Also, number of gears has to match, 5 speeds only if combo originally came that way.

If it came with a 3 speed you are allowed to run a 4 speed.

I guess I should have clarified that, but no 5 speed in an original 4 speed combo. Also, you can run a 4 speed in an orig 5 speed combo if you wish.

The way I read the rule book it says, " any model transmission, same make as car, with a maximum of three forward speeds". To me this means you could have or a 283" Chevy in a 98 Camaro SS /GT with a 200 metric or turbo or .....
