Re: Time For A Transmission Rule Change?
 
An existing transmission rule that appears to not be being enforced, is the rule stating that you have to use the clutch to change gears, and specifically banning clutchless gearboxes. I'm not gonna point fingers, but I'm seeing a lot of in-car videos of stockers clearly showing gearchanges made without touching the clutch.

It's unfortunate Ford and Chryslers don't have a SFI approved case. Then again I think stocker cars should have a vin number too. If safety is the issue. Better safe than sorry. The new cars have some serious power over older muscle cars with some combinations available. Maybe like all safety rules. It would come into play when certain E.T and speed is a factor.

It would increase the heads up runs slightly.
The good automatics are as quick as the stickshifts in most cases and some are quicker.
No in high gear ..

Wasn't the rule originally that 500 had to be built to run stock and 50 to run super stock?

And yet they don't share the same horsepower factors.

I have a 2004 Dodge 2500 diesel and an 83 Mustang GT with a T-5 that I can shift without the clutch, neither at WOT, but I'm pretty sure just about any aftermarket stick shift can be shifted w/o clutch.

Since all the new Factory Cars all run aftermarket SFI versions of Chevrolet transmissions, is it time to allow them for all combinations?

An argument for this would be that a stick shift car can run an aftermarket transmission.

An argument against would be that it would dilute Stock/SS one more time.

I'm interest to see your responses.
