turns green they dump the cluch. Good for the race but very bad for the car. Then they " bark " the tires as the go though the gears. I
built a 1971 383 charger with a 4 speeed trand. In races I would red line it and then dump the clutch. I won a lot of races but key on the crank that attached to crank broke. No more 383  |
yup, there's no possible way to abuse an automatic,
Plus they're so simple to work on and have so few moving parts they are actuall much more durable than a manual transmission. BMW automatic tranny's never fail at 80,000 miles
