Re: E shift ?
Every enhancement in the last 30 years has been for safety, just about.
But guess what? They then go faster and need more "safety".

Re: E shift ?
Like I said before I could care less but since the rule allows it for my car it would be silly for me not to take advantage. Just add me to the pansy *** list lol.

what year is your car? this is how it reads to me shifting of OEM electric shift automatic transmissions permitted in computer-controlled vehicles only.(so a 4L60E was indroduce in 1992 only 92 and up for chevy)Otherwise, any gear change must occur as a result of an internal function of the transmission or from direct action by the driver. Pneumatic, hydraulic, electric, etc. controls and shifters in all noncomputer-controlled electronic-fuel-injected vehicles prohibited (means every other car,91 and older for chevy) The use of air assisted or electric assisted shifter is prohibited in all Stock applications (means no auto shifters in stock eliminator) my two cents

Re: E shift ?
I guess everything is up to interpretation. I can use any corporate trans I want and I have a computer controlled car so what year the transmission came in the car is irrelevant in my opinion.

You think that 92 TPI computer will run a 4L60-E? (The answer is no) Good luck in 2018

Re: E shift ?
I had one in my old j/sa 74 Nova for a sort time mr Paul had told me it was legal and mr Travis explained it was not. I did not have it hid it was mounted on the dash in plain sight. I had already been through tech at about five races and Travis walked by my car and seen it. He asked me if it was doing anything to the transmission and of course I said yes. He said to have it out before first round. I took it out.
The only problem I have with the rule is if one car can have it in stock all should be and please don't tell me to pick another car. Everybody picks there car because they like that car most of the time. What im saying is most the e-shift cars are running a 200 or 350 trans that did not come in them so whats the difference. And I know you can do the auto 1-2 shift. Sorry for being so long its just NHRA don't play by the same rules. By the way the E-shift is legal in any car to run a shift light. Clarence Woodham 2783 |
