BR Clutchless 4 speed in the 9's and M&H Slick update thread
#91
Some in car auto-X video would be pretty sweet as every auto I've seen has some pretty large RPM drop when you let off that has a pretty big impact on handling. That's pretty awesome if you have it so it's not doing something similar.
Just got to watch the video of the drag strip though and it looks damn good coming off the line though.

The only way an auto is going to have a large RPM drop on decel is if the car shifts into the next higher gear, there is no other reason for it and THAT happens on automatic transmissions. This is not being sold as an "automatic transmission" it is being sold as a clutchless 4 speed and it can NOT shift to a higher gear on decel because the trans is controlled 100% by the driver. The other problem with a typical auto trans is once it does up shift mid corner because you are off the throttle it will then down shift when you transition back to being on the throttle hard, none of that is good. This simply will NOT do that unless you select to shift up or down on your own.
I don't know where you are on the list, the list is also subject to change for various reasons, payments, availability and who was behind me on the project from day one and helping with the financial part of it or development, like Nick and Matt.
Good news is the car is running again and I drove it this morning. Trans shifts great, no noise from the clearance issue we had on the t-case initially, drive train noise with this trans is virtually non-existent. With the 5 speed you could hear every gear whine and noise in the car, now it super-super quiet, even with zero sound deadening and all our lightweight parts in the car. I'm going to get out today and run it a few times and then get it washed for Friday night, we will hit the track then if all goes well.

Sorry, it was my sons video and he somehow managed to crash his entire channel and lost all his videos.
Hopefully tomorrow night I'll have some good fresh videos, going to take our good camera (better than my iPhone!) and video every run. Going to Norwalk and hoping to run some new times!

I located the video I used here on Youtube the other day when I was adding the items to the cart.

Car is loaded and ready. I drove it today. I'm going to add some additional technical information to the original thread about the car for anyone interested in reading it.
Hoping for some good numbers tonight.
