If thats such a big problem, I guess all the higher class stickshift cars must need electric shifters too, right? For safety, of course!

I may be in the minority here, but anything that diminishes the input of the driver weakens the class. Drive the damn car!

Wink Re: E shift ?

Every enhancement in the last 30 years has been for safety, just about.
But guess what? They then go faster and need more "safety".

Does anyone still use the governor shift on 1-2. I know back in the day that was a good choice for the quick 1-2 shift.
I guess that would still pass tech.

Like I said before I could care less but since the rule allows it for my car it would be silly for me not to take advantage. Just add me to the pansy *** list lol.

what year is your car?

this is how it reads to me

shifting of OEM electric shift automatic transmissions permitted in computer-controlled vehicles only.(so a 4L60E was indroduce in 1992 only 92 and up for chevy)Otherwise, any gear change must occur as a result of an internal function of the transmission or from direct action by the driver.

Pneumatic, hydraulic, electric, etc. controls and shifters in all noncomputer-controlled electronic-fuel-injected vehicles prohibited

(means every other car,91 and older for chevy)

The use of air assisted or electric assisted shifter is prohibited in all Stock applications

(means no auto shifters in stock eliminator)

my two cents

My car can be claimed as a 91 or 92. According to my conversation with Dave Ley nothing has changed about this rule other than what was added to stop some guys from using air or electric shifters.
