do planetary trans get soft auto index?

I thought this rule has been in affect for year, as I've watched a lot of stick cars (and I'm from a stick shift family) and the old story went you always seen the wheelie bars moving during each shift change, well i know of a bunch that did not have no movement. Bet there will be a bunch of AH cars becoming sticks.

They were just really good at shifting...wink, wink!

IMO, i think it's a good equalizer to the autos. it was pretty SH!**Y how they went about it. why is there still a weight break for autos. get rid of that!

I've wondered something for awhile I've read that when P/S switched to Lenco's that Ronnie Sox slowed down when he went to Lenco,so is it possible Ronnie Sox was shifting without clutch when maybe hardly anyone else was or had even tried?I do know people shifted crash boxes and pro shifted trans without clutch. This is in no way intended to be a negative thing against Ronnie Sox he was excellent driver and true pioneer and evidently they had something figured out if they could go faster with clutch type trans over Lenco.Which I know Lenco has more drag than non planetary trans.but it's still impressive to go faster with factory style 4 speed than Lenco.
Again nothing against Ronnie Sox just trying to figure out and did any other drivers slow down when they changed to planetary trans?

Ronnie Sox was just that good. He was a natural driver.The reason for the rule change is that a few certain stick drivers who couldnt drive a nail with a hammer whinned loud enough and were tight with "The Man" in Calif. !

Doesn't Danny Garcia have a relative that drives a AA/AH car?

Ed Wright · 02-10-2010, 05:11 PM

Well, they just made a lot of stick cars legal.

Makes you wonder when he ordered his clutchless trans.
