This is how they check for clutchless tranny's, put the car in any gear but 5th and rock the car back in forth. If it pops out of gear it is obviously a clutchless unit. -tg

I driven a clutchless tranny before in a friend of mine's bracket car, and in the pits, if you let off the gas, the trans popped out of gear. You are not suppose to hold the trans in gear! If the trans pops out of gear, than you have to come to a complete stop and start back over again shifting! I was told that by g-force yrrrrrrrrrrrrsss ago.
