Clutchless Stocker

The clutch assisted sliders and faceplates have different tapered angles so they lock together in my GF5R. The clutchless have a straight angle on the faceplate and the sliders have a ramp with a straight angle, so they do not lock. Just because someone is not using the clutch to shift means nothing. How they have the clutch setup and a trans that is face plated and enough leverage to pull the shifter out of gear, and into the next gear. Or hitting the rev limiter, will unload the trans and allow easy shifting.

A clutchless will not stay in gear unless kept under a slight load. A clutch assist will stay in gear without a load. My trans was clutch assist when my car was a stocker, I never used the clutch to shift going down the track. When I switched to SS I ran the same exact clutch assist trans, until I changed gearing and had it converted to clutchless for $250. The only changes were the clutchless sliders and faceplates. The picture is my trans apart for service last winter. 5th gear is not clutchless all other gears are clutchless and show the ramp. 1st, 3rd and 4th gear sliders are chewed up from the clutch being set too tight, and driver error over several seasons.
