Lencos in SS

Tony, I feel your pain I've got a G-Force Clutch assisted on the shelf for my AX car.That's nearly $7000 for a trans. that may not be competitive anymore. And yes I've watched my Gmeter with both trans in the car, actually the accel rate would go higher with the clutch assisted mainly due to being in nuetral for a millisecond. The main difference is my clutchless went many- many runs with no issues, my clutch assisted required repair after 30-50 runs. I'm not advocating for or against the change as my current car has a "grannie" tranny. It's just always been an issue that what we have now is going to be obsolete next year, tricker-faster parts are always comoing down the pike. The question is do we spend the money? Like so many things in racing we rarely get a voice in the decision making, they make the rules and we try to race within them. Joe
