Does this trans have a clutch to launch ? The early ClutchHydros used that , lots of early Chrysler race cars had ClutchFlites . Once better race converters were developed , those type of transmissions disappeared , probably due to bad durability . Now you can buy a Bruno-Drive so you can hookup a torque Converter to a Lenco . Then you get the best of both worlds with a transbrake and a strong trans .

The new transmissions like a 200-4R or a 700-R4 don't have good ratio spreads to take advantage of the 4 speeds .
