Mr. DePillo, you stated that the clutchless transmission acceptance is a "done deal" for 2010, where did you you hear or read this information? Also, if this is indeed true, does anybody know if G Force or Jerico could retrofit our current transmissions to the clutchless configuration? I just checked out both Jerico`s and G Forces websites, on a new transmission, a clutchless Jerico is $650. more than a clutch assist DR4. A G Force clutchless 5 speed is $400. more than a clutch assist version, I couldn`t find a clutchless 4 speed listed on the G Force site, do they make one? I have 2 clutch assist Jerico DR4`s, and personally, have been very pleased with their reliabiliy, the only parts that I have ever broke were the 2 gears for 3rd gear ,once, in 9 seasons in my 10.0@132 bracket car. The trans in my Stocker has never been hurt. Granted my cars are both slower than many S/S cars, or some of the higher class Stockers. On a faster car, can anybody say for certain that the clutchless trans would be more durable than a clutch assist unit? Also, would a clutchless trans be any quicker than a clutch assist trans that happened to be shifted without the clutch? Personally, I wouldn`t want to have to buy any new transmission (s), but if my old ones could be upgraded for a reasonable cost, I may be interested in that option, assuming this ruling is indeed, a certainty
