Trans Problems!

I've been doing high gear only burnouts with glides and 3 speeds (T400, T350, and T200) for years. Currently have a T350 in my Super Stocker. Never have had an issue with any trans that was burnout related. I was told years ago by a reputable trans builder that one of the hardest things on a trans is shifting in the burnout. As long as you have some dampness on the tires, there is no need to be in a lower gear for the burnout.

I too neutral the car after the finish line. My current trans builder hasn't yelled at me yet for doing so... :-)
