Time For A Transmission Rule Change?
 

So, I am just thinking out loud on this.

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.

Instead of diluting it that way why not just separate the stick and auto classes like they should have done in the beginning.

My personal interest in this would be my Cobra Jet and Drag Pak projects. I look at what's out there for them and it's nothing compared to what I can get for my GM cars.

There's a perfectly good example why the Cobra Jets, Drag Paks and COPOS shouldn't have been put in Stock in the first place. GM trans in Fords and Dodges galore. Should have been S/S only. I know...I know..that horse is long out of the barn and running loose.

how about all have FORD rears.

Already allowed in SS, and aside from some optimum gear ratio choices, it would slow a lot of Stock cars down with a 9"!

I thought the Jerico and G-Force transmissions are already legal in the classes?

Stock is not Super Stock.

They are- that's his point...

I think the fact that they are combined in FS is good, I would argue that are many in SS and stock that also should be combined. I
It would increase the heads up runs slightly.
The good automatics are as quick as the stickshifts in most cases and some are quicker.
