Your not driving a manual transmission car properly when drag racing if your "right" foot is coming off the accelerator every time you make a gear change. Period.
@StickShiftRacer If it's not a street car, sure. It's good to take load off of the synchros for the whole tenth of a second or less that a shift takes. Professional drag racing is why there are Lenco style transmissions, sequentials, and stuff like face plated TKOs around, clutchless shifts where there is no need to lift off the gas.
A lot of street cars use a WOT box for no lift shifting without causing damage, though.
@StickShiftRacer I'm sure you do. You're speaking of a transmission that was designed for racing. As if speaking about any transmission in general like that is true - it's not. It's false.
Try no lift shifting with a Non-W/C T5 in a Camaro, or a T45 or TR3650 in a 99-04 Mustang GT. I learned the hard way just from a bit of power shifting. My '01 Mustang GT's 2nd gear synchro is shot. So, I'm on the look out for a T56.
@zTyphoN Maybe to get an extra tenth or two in on a 1/4 mile pass, on a car that isn't street driven much. I daily drive my '01 GT, and my '86 IROC is an auto. On a DD car, it's just not feasible to romp on it 24/7, and drop the trans every month or two.
I'll stick with roll racing for now, since the shock of a launch isn't there. Maybe when I have a built T56, with carbon fiber synchro blocker rings, billet shift keys, bronze pads, etc. It is worth it though, if you're trying to be quick.
@kcole939: yeah, on my 351 foxbody i went for about 5-6 months before having to replace the synchros and that's daily driving, and im only 18 so that means getting down on it way more than one time a day and powershifting, and i think it's worth it too with all of the compliments saying how fast i shift, because it sounds like an auto with powershifting
@zTyphoN Same with me. I have a few fly by exhaust videos of my '01 GT on my other account. I hit 4th @ 90 MPH as I pass the camera in both videos, and you can't hear the shift. I've had to show a few people over the 'net pictures of my interior, proving it's a manual.
My comment about a T56 must have given me good luck. I found a pretty good deal on a T56 with a 26 spline input, carbon synchros, billet keys, plus a Centerforce clutch, Fidanza flywheel, 03-04 Cobra aluminum driveshaft.
If there is no transmission in a Fuel car, explain how they put it into reverse after the burnout. I'm positive that they do not spin the motor backwards to get back to the staging line!
I think a lot of people in here have the wrong idea about automatic vs manual. Whichever one shifts the fastest doesn't necessarily make it "faster". A manual will always put more power from the engine down to the wheels because of less internal parts to rob power. As far as I know, autos are desirable for drag racing because they produce much more consistant times easier than manuals do.
@taylorfranklyn no, semi-automatics are basically clutchless manuals. there are many different versions, but the superior one right now is a DCT, with shift times that can be as low as 0.08 seconds.
automatics suck. PERIOD. semi-auto's on the other hand are a different story. dual-clutch trannies are, hands down, better than autos OR manuals in terms of speed, but id always prefer driving a stick any day. but of course in racing there is much more contributing to your car's performance
But auto cars are fast as hell .. And with a good tranny the cars will shift hard .. My dad has a buick grand national with a build tranny and when it shifts it throws the car like 30feet .... But stick cars are fast to ... It depend on the driver mostly ..... My dad has beaten many stick cars cuz he can't miss a shift in a auto car .... But it depends on what the driver wants
@oohklu actually generally automatics are slower than manuals, but it all depends on the car and how you mod it. and if youre missing shifts....something is wrong
Automatics are for when you race in competition for money and for your livelihood. No matter how good you think you are, you absolutely WILL NOT beat the consistency of an auto. There is also less parts breakage with auto because the driveline does not experience sudden shocks upon launch like in this video. People who think automatics are for pussies, old people, lazy people etc are simply immature and inexperienced in the sport of drag racing.
@gtdrummerdude And on top of that, cars with well built automatics with torque converters that are properly matched to the engine's torqueband- and rear end gears that are well matched to the car's intended use- are VERY fun to drive. I've driven a V8-powered, 4 speed manual car for two years now and it gets old after a while. I'd rather have a 4 speed auto with overdrive and a 3000 stall anyday.
@gtdrummerdude but u cant controll wen the autos shift gears.....there r situations where u need to shift after ur opponent to take advantage of the drop in their torque bend
@Steven11525 This is exactly what i'm talking about, people who don't know what they're talking about and are inexperienced. I don't mean to be a jackass but you just proved my point. The valve body of an automatic transmission can be modified to give you full control (better yet you can just buy what's called a "full manual valve body") and your shifter is actually directly connected to the shift valve so the the transmission shifts the instant you move the shifter, no matter what speed or rpm.
@Steven11525 then you take it to someone who knows how install a valve body which is pretty much anyone that knows anything about working on transmissions- if you seriously couldnt figure that out stick with putting the handle thing next to the D and pushing the thingy on the right to go vroom vroom
That's a mean stang .... I think a auto car is great for drag racing but stick is better for the streets considering you could dump the clutch and go ... But I guess it boils down your personal opinion .... I kinda like stick cars better
Wow! The hateraid is flowing..LOL anyway just wanted to point out, auto trans are usually used in drag racing for consistant times. IMO this guys is shifting a Lenco or some sort of variation. Either way looks like fun. =D
im getting my first car in like 3 - 4 weeks, and i have driven a few 5 speeds and like them a lot, i could never have an automatic unless im like 80 years old, manual trans makes any boring car fun!
Automatics aren't for pussies, anyone who says they are doesn't know drag racing any better than I know 14th century poetry. Automatics are the best for drag racing. If you disagree, then go watch the top fuel cars and let me know when you see one driving a stick.
That being said, sticks are certainly fun, and you have to respect anyone who can drive the hell out of one like this guy apparently can (assuming this is legitimately a stick car with a clutch).
@Gauge128 well lets face it, if they could do proper tracks (ones that include right bends as well NASCAR) then they would do that, not drag racing. The great things about you colonials and your love for the auto was that by driving "stick" a yank lass I knew got turned on and we had lots of furious, kinky sexual fun. The sort of fun that those guys driving autos can only remember in the distant pass when they were young, verile and able to entertain nubile girls.
@Gauge128 actually semi-automatics are the best. dual-clutch transmissions are far better than manuals OR automatics. but imo, drag racing with a manual is more fun and takes more skill so it gets more appreciation than an auto.
@Gauge128 Top fuel cars don't have a conventional transmission at all. They have one gear that tops out at ~330mph and they slip the clutch all the way down the track.
@Gauge128 top fuel are manuals. and they are good for racing too. all depends on what you need it to do not saying autos aren't good for it but its all a matter of opinion.
@Gauge128 Fuel cars are neither manual nor automatic, they do run clutch packs tho, so...unfair comparison. A good comparison, Pro Stock. They are all about efficiency and whaddya know, they are 5-speed manuals.
Even faster, Top Alcohol funny cars...whaddya know, they are manually shifted 2 speeds. :)
@Gauge128 the lag proves its a manual and yeah your right automatics are nice for drag because they dont have and lag and have insane shift times but theyre only good for going in straight lines this guy could drag against the finest with this car and race on the oval track
@Gauge128 thats because not every one knows how to drive a standard off the line. so they go with automatics. so that they dont look like retards. standards offer more gear control. its common sense. more gear.. and more control. just because most people dont know how to use a clutch without spinning doesnt mean autos are better. thats just retarded. thats like saying that a ford focus is faster than a lambo just cause the person driving the lambo is 4 years old.
@clevebrowning1 Common sense would be that perhaps automatics have more consistent shift points and theres no possible chance of missing a gear.. It has nothing to do with "looking like a retard" its for people who want better track times. I have a T56 in my Iroc so i know the difference.
from 1th to 2nd, just pull the stick back with a slight left push, to move in 3rd, just push the stick forward, without actually grabbing the stick with your full hand.
a simple push with your pointing finger folded is enough, just don't have to use any force at all.
the stick always auto centers, between 3 and 4.
to get 5th gear, just push it forward from 4th with a slight right push, but without actually closing your hand or using force, you can't MISS
@naturalyshocked ITS NOT THE ACTUAL GEAR YOU MISS ITS THE CLUTCH TIMING I CAN NOW SEE THAT YOU HAVE NEVER RACED A CAR ANY WAY THIS HAPPENS TO THE BEST NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY @ LEAST ON THE 1/4 MILE WHILE TRYING TO SHIFT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE IS NECESSARY
dude, i don't dop dragstrips, drag racing is for idiots, i race in between real traffic, have been doing it for more than 17 years and never caused an accident.
until 2 (before the point system) years ago, pretty much everyone did 100m/h on average on the highway.
going max speed in my car was daily stuff, i mean doing 230km/h+ untill you reach work or home.
dude, i'm used to roads where there are like 2 bends (totally blind corners) in less than 15 meters, so it's quite natural litle by litle you're going to squeez yourself a litle harder or the car on days you're irretated and like to speed.
so i rather compare myself to a rally driver, than a closed track driver
: )
sure, @ some times you loose control, but braking with the left foot helps alot.
@naturalyshocked i have only bean driving for 6 years but i know it did not take more than 6 months to fucking shift as fast as lightning and doing it good you i think your slow i was a expert shifter and clutch master by 6 months of driving i use to race all time i can say i was a bit better before cuz i use to race all the fucking time non stop street track any where i was young and you could say stupid but i never wreaked
@naturalyshocked- yea thats how you shift but you obviously haven't driven enough manual transmission cars to be saying that. there are some shift gates that when trying to be fast will hit the stop between the two gears causing you to have to try again.. my chevy truck for example.. the shifter is very long with an equally long throw and 3rd gear isn't where you think it should be. i've never missed a gear in my mustang with either the stock or pro 5.0 shifters
@naturalyshocked you say that like its some kind of insult. why are you even commenting on this video if its not "hit-tech" enough for you. fuckin fag
@naturalyshocked So to my understanding what your saying is that everyone else in the world that utilizes an automatic for daily commute is a "retard" .. ? I dont think were on the same planet because anyone and EVERYONE has missed/grind a gear, its not natural at all. Were not all born to drive 5/6 speed transmissions it comes with experience.
in the Netherlands if you not capable of driving a manual, you request driving lessons in autobox and you will later have a stamp in your drivers license that forbids you driving manual cars.
so in short people that can't drive manual are retards.
@hyperlite341 everyone else in the world...the majority of the world drives manual trannies...the US is the only continent/country thats dominated by auto's
No offense, but a top fuel car doesn't even have a transmission. All they have is a multiple stage clutch (electronically controlled) that turns the rear end. In other words, there is absolutely no shifting in a Top Fuel car. All it does is slip the clutch at varying levels to try and avoid wheel spin. Even at the last 100ft mark, to little clutch slip will result in a 300mph burnout. Still doesn't change the fact that there isn't a transmission.And 6 people thumbed up you? LOL
@Chk6666S Very true but they definitely dont use manual's. The closest interpretation of how the power is converted to the wheels would be very much the same as an automatic transmission. Basically goes forward and adjusts the gearing for how much power will reach the tires without any manual input.
Thanks for chiming in on something you know nothing about. There is nothing close to an automatic transmission at work here. Please re-read what I wrote and learn what a multiple stage clutch is. Then learn how varying stages of this clutch can be applied at varying times. I repeat there is no transmission in a Top Fuel car. If you want to get close to a transmission type it would be a manual that is in 1:1 drive. (3rd gear usually) Not even close to how an automatic works.
No it doesn't. It uses a reversing electric motor.
Directly from the homepage of NHRA(dot)com: "Funny Cars are also similar to Top Fuel dragsters in that they DO NOT use a transmission but rather transmit power to the huge Goodyear rear slicks through a multistage clutch assembly that is activated by timers."
@Chk6666S A Top Fueller does not control the clutch electronically, it's all mechanical. As you said it locks up the clutch more and more as the dragster goes further down the track. Many times the dragster will not even have the clutch fully locked up at the stripe, it's still slipping.
There are 6 clutch discs in a Top Fuel car. The multistage clutch is electronically timed to progressively lock up (increase clutch %) during the run. This is not controlled by the driver with a mechanical lever or pedal. It is all done ELECTRONICALLY.
@Chk6666S I wasn't suggesting the driver mechanically operates the clutch! I was suggesting there are no electronics involved in how the multistage clutch operates.
Wow. If you would read your own post you sent me as a message it talks about the ELECTRONIC timing system. Here's a picture of the clutch timing system's digital / electronic regulator :
Kinda hard for all those clutch plates to be inside of a TRANSMISSION that isn't there. Why do people like you comment on shit you know nothing about?
Directly from NHRA (I suggest reading it) "Funny Cars are also similar to Top Fuel dragsters in that they DO NOT use a TRANSMISSION but rather transmit power to the huge Goodyear rear slicks through a multistage clutch assembly that is activated by timers.
So please, go comment on something else you know nothing about.
Don't get soo upset. I know it's embarrassing to be made to look like a fool. Next time, maybe you'll try to know what you're talking about before commenting.
You'll be ok though. I'm sure your misdirectional comments are just you're way of saying "I'm sorry I was wrong".
I'd agree it takes more skill but why do it just because of that? Driving with your knee takes some skill but I dont see drag racers trying that out.Two cars one with a manual transmission and one with a transbrake, manual valve body, and ratchet shifter which would be easier and faster down the track. Much rather use a manual transmission myself but if it came down to a drag race (with money on the line) I know what I would choose.
@Kadorja True but the point i want to make is that racing should involve the driver skill and the performance of the car. Automatics get away with "press and go". Slam the pedal and keep it strait.
My '71 Ford is a 3 on the tree. (Ford 3.03) I consider it theft protection. Most people dont even know what a 3 on the tree is, let alone how to operate one.
@papabugs71 - I drove an Old Ford pickup with 3 on the tree. Took a little while to get use to but once i got the hang of it its actually pretty fun to drive.
@papabugs71 1st is towards you and down, second is away from you and up and third is away from you and down=] looks like someones investing in a new anti theft system for their truck
@XxMusclecarsxX whats the point of drag racing then? its about reaction time and skill, its not all about who can build a bigger engine, you sicken me, oh one more thing your right autos aren't for sissy's they are for ricers and pussies like you .
@adogg619 Why is putting it in neutral a bad idea? So he can possibly over-rev the engine while down-shifting? Put unnecessary stress on the engine and transmission?
I didn't say he should downshift. What I meant was just leave it in the last gear he was in, which would be 4th in this case. That's what I do when I slow down. Leave it in gear, brake, then before I come to a complete stop, clutch in and shift to neutral.
@adogg619 Dude when you have that much power and toque and at reline, you don't want to let off. If this was a cog driven procharged car for instance, if he were to let off like that at the end he could snap the key-way on the crank.. this is a drag car.. not a street car, or roadcoarse car.. you are talking nonsense.
Do you fully comprehend that the car is using those same exact components to SPEED UP with over 10x more stress than if you leave it in gear to slow down?
Fucking a...
It's like people telling you to never leave standard car in gear when parking cus it can damage the transmission... LOL
Parking strain on a transmission, lets make it a 1. Acceleration strain at full throttle will be a comparable 2000.
If this is an automatic and he has to take his right hand off the steering wheel and put it on the shift knob to feel badass than that's just sad. But it sounds like a sequential shifter kinda...
Have you heard of the story of the fox who could not reach the grapes? If you are a MAN.. make a Mercedes.. fuck mustang.. a trained monkey can make that shit !!!!! So fuck off.. amautre !!

The sort of fun that those guys driving autos can only remember in the distant pass when they were young, verile and able to entertain nubile girls.

@Gauge128 actually semi-automatics are the best. dual-clutch transmissions are far better than manuals OR automatics. but imo, drag racing with a manual is more fun and takes more skill so it gets more appreciation than an auto.

@Gauge128 Top fuel cars don't have a conventional transmission at all. They have one gear that tops out at ~330mph and they slip the clutch all the way down the track.

@Gauge128 top fuel are manuals. and they are good for racing too. all depends on what you need it to do not saying autos aren't good for it but its all a matter of opinion.
metallica3426 1 year ago
@Gauge128 Fuel cars are neither manual nor automatic, they do run clutch packs tho, so...unfair comparison. A good comparison, Pro Stock. They are all about efficiency and whaddya know, they are 5-speed manuals.
Even faster, Top Alcohol funny cars...whaddya know, they are manually shifted 2 speeds. :)

@Gauge128 the lag proves its a manual and yeah your right automatics are nice for drag because they dont have and lag and have insane shift times but theyre only good for going in straight lines this guy could drag against the finest with this car and race on the oval track

@Gauge128 thats because not every one knows how to drive a standard off the line. so they go with automatics. so that they dont look like retards. standards offer more gear control. its common sense. more gear.. and more control. just because most people dont know how to use a clutch without spinning doesnt mean autos are better. thats just retarded. thats like saying that a ford focus is faster than a lambo just cause the person driving the lambo is 4 years old.
clevebrowning1 1 year ago
@clevebrowning1 Common sense would be that perhaps automatics have more consistent shift points and theres no possible chance of missing a gear.. It has nothing to do with "looking like a retard" its for people who want better track times. I have a T56 in my Iroc so i know the difference.
hyperlite341 1 year ago
dude, you can't mis a gear.
it's natural!
from 1th to 2nd, just pull the stick back with a slight left push, to move in 3rd, just push the stick forward, without actually grabbing the stick with your full hand.
a simple push with your pointing finger folded is enough, just don't have to use any force at all.
the stick always auto centers, between 3 and 4.
to get 5th gear, just push it forward from 4th with a slight right push, but without actually closing your hand or using force, you can't MISS

@naturalyshocked ITS NOT THE ACTUAL GEAR YOU MISS ITS THE CLUTCH TIMING I CAN NOW SEE THAT YOU HAVE NEVER RACED A CAR ANY WAY THIS HAPPENS TO THE BEST NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY @ LEAST ON THE 1/4 MILE WHILE TRYING TO SHIFT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE IS NECESSARY

until 2 (before the point system) years ago, pretty much everyone did 100m/h on average on the highway.
going max speed in my car was daily stuff, i mean doing 230km/h+ untill you reach work or home.

dude, i'm used to roads where there are like 2 bends (totally blind corners) in less than 15 meters, so it's quite natural litle by litle you're going to squeez yourself a litle harder or the car on days you're irretated and like to speed.
so i rather compare myself to a rally driver, than a closed track driver
: )
sure, @ some times you loose control, but braking with the left foot helps alot.
naturalyshocked 1 year ago
sure, you can fuck uop, hapens to everyone, but it also takes many years before you really know how to shift.
you just don't keep a fixed grab on the gear know and you can't fuck up, if you have a fixed grab, you fuck up.
i never have a fixed hand / grab on the knob, i only make hooks with my hand and pull or push gears, but with open hands, i never mess up.
my hand also never and never rests on the knob, but on my knee

@naturalyshocked i have only bean driving for 6 years but i know it did not take more than 6 months to fucking shift as fast as lightning and doing it good you i think your slow i was a expert shifter and clutch master by 6 months of driving i use to race all time i can say i was a bit better before cuz i use to race all the fucking time non stop street track any where i was young and you could say stupid but i never wreaked
mauiboypoi 1 year ago
@naturalyshocked- yea thats how you shift but you obviously haven't driven enough manual transmission cars to be saying that. there are some shift gates that when trying to be fast will hit the stop between the two gears causing you to have to try again.. my chevy truck for example.. the shifter is very long with an equally long throw and 3rd gear isn't where you think it should be. i've never missed a gear in my mustang with either the stock or pro 5.0 shifters

yes, sir.
in the Netherlands if you not capable of driving a manual, you request driving lessons in autobox and you will later have a stamp in your drivers license that forbids you driving manual cars.

@Gauge128
No offense, but a top fuel car doesn't even have a transmission. All they have is a multiple stage clutch (electronically controlled) that turns the rear end. In other words, there is absolutely no shifting in a Top Fuel car. All it does is slip the clutch at varying levels to try and avoid wheel spin. Even at the last 100ft mark, to little clutch slip will result in a 300mph burnout. Still doesn't change the fact that there isn't a transmission.And 6 people thumbed up you? LOL
Chk6666S 1 year ago 76
@Chk6666S Very true but they definitely dont use manual's. The closest interpretation of how the power is converted to the wheels would be very much the same as an automatic transmission. Basically goes forward and adjusts the gearing for how much power will reach the tires without any manual input.
xLuckydemonx 1 year ago
@xLuckydemonx
Thanks for chiming in on something you know nothing about. There is nothing close to an automatic transmission at work here. Please re-read what I wrote and learn what a multiple stage clutch is. Then learn how varying stages of this clutch can be applied at varying times. I repeat there is no transmission in a Top Fuel car. If you want to get close to a transmission type it would be a manual that is in 1:1 drive. (3rd gear usually) Not even close to how an automatic works.
Chk6666S 1 year ago
@Chk6666S Uh It DOES have a transmission one speed forward and one speed reverse. and instead of a torque converter they use a clutch. :/
Mathyoo0179 1 year ago
@Mathyoo0179
No it doesn't. It uses a reversing electric motor.
Directly from the homepage of NHRA(dot)com: "Funny Cars are also similar to Top Fuel dragsters in that they DO NOT use a transmission but rather transmit power to the huge Goodyear rear slicks through a multistage clutch assembly that is activated by timers."
Chk6666S 1 year ago
@Chk6666S A Top Fueller does not control the clutch electronically, it's all mechanical. As you said it locks up the clutch more and more as the dragster goes further down the track. Many times the dragster will not even have the clutch fully locked up at the stripe, it's still slipping.
MmeDesgranges 9 months ago

@MmeDesgranges
I suggest researching Top Fuel cars again.
There are 6 clutch discs in a Top Fuel car. The multistage clutch is electronically timed to progressively lock up (increase clutch %) during the run. This is not controlled by the driver with a mechanical lever or pedal. It is all done ELECTRONICALLY.
Chk6666S 8 months ago
@Chk6666S I wasn't suggesting the driver mechanically operates the clutch! I was suggesting there are no electronics involved in how the multistage clutch operates.

Wow. If you would read your own post you sent me as a message it talks about the ELECTRONIC timing system. Here's a picture of the clutch timing system's digital / electronic regulator :

lol, i'm not even american and have never seen a dragrace, but i do know the topfuel dragsters have manual gearboxes.
they use neumatic systems to apply clutch and gears, yet some pull levers to switch gears, but certainly have neumatic driven clutches.
not bad for some guy from Holland.

i don't think a torque converter can handle 6000/8000 hp, it would wipe the vanes off.

@VicLS9898
I'd agree it takes more skill but why do it just because of that? Driving with your knee takes some skill but I dont see drag racers trying that out.Two cars one with a manual transmission and one with a transbrake, manual valve body, and ratchet shifter which would be easier and faster down the track. Much rather use a manual transmission myself but if it came down to a drag race (with money on the line) I know what I would choose.
Kadorja 1 year ago
@Kadorja True but the point i want to make is that racing should involve the driver skill and the performance of the car. Automatics get away with "press and go". Slam the pedal and keep it strait.

brianchris4 1 year ago
@brianchris4
I didn't say he should downshift. What I meant was just leave it in the last gear he was in, which would be 4th in this case. That's what I do when I slow down. Leave it in gear, brake, then before I come to a complete stop, clutch in and shift to neutral.
adogg619 1 year ago
@adogg619 Dude when you have that much power and toque and at reline, you don't want to let off. If this was a cog driven procharged car for instance, if he were to let off like that at the end he could snap the key-way on the crank.. this is a drag car.. not a street car, or roadcoarse car.. you are talking nonsense.

"unnecessary stress"?
Do you realize how much horseshit that is?
Do you fully comprehend that the car is using those same exact components to SPEED UP with over 10x more stress than if you leave it in gear to slow down?
Fucking a...
It's like people telling you to never leave standard car in gear when parking cus it can damage the transmission... LOL
Parking strain on a transmission, lets make it a 1. Acceleration strain at full throttle will be a comparable 2000.
