That's quite the kinky 3 way sex toy you got there, Roger

>>14110395
im cool when i drive with an unnecessary gearbox

>>14110395
An interesting automatic transmission shift kit, I can see the novelty but not any actual utility to such a design.

Its an /o/ Christmas

>>14110796
just leave it in drive then. it will work just as well

>>14110796
>>14110765
No, he's right. It's just a gimmick. It's grade A 'Murrican rice. It's meant to look like a drag shifter setup without actually doing anything very helpful.

Does look neat though.

just leave it in drive and be more consistent.

>>14110805
Lightning rods are not a gimmick lol

You know nothing about drag racing; dont make me activate my tripcode.

>>14110395
I wonder it if would be possible to build something like that into a modern car with an automatic transmission. I'd kind of like to, just for the novelty.

>>14110805
It works kind of like a lenco
Left lever is standard shift. middle lever pull back for 1-2 shift right lever pull back for 2-3 shift. Pretty beat

>>14111026
>kind of like

That's the key. It doesn't actually work the same though. It's just meant to look like it.

Ricer shit.

>>14110816
Yeah, that doesn't really work if you have to pedal it out of the hole at all

>>14111047
No, it's actually an improvement over a factory shifter that has no definite way of only selecting one gear change up at a time if you're having to hold the trans back from inappropriate upshifting.

>>14111141
An improvement yes but it is not what it's made to look like. What part about that don't you get? It's designed to look like a much more expensive and effective drag racing setup but doesn't work nearly as well.

>>14111166
That's not what you said at all. You were saying it was completely useless rice and did nothing more than a normal shifter

> It's just meant to look like it.

>Ricer shit.

>>14111175
We were comparing it to the shifter it's designed to look like, not the stock shifter.

It's still rice.

>>14110847
One slow gtp's faggot ass located

>>14111188
But the shifter it's designed to look like wouldn't work on the at and cycling all the levers at every light would be irritating.

>>14111242
Because it's meant for racing, yes. Not street driving.

>>14111246
But this shifter can do both...

>>14111251
So can regular automatic shifter. This one just does it slightly better. That doesn't change the fact that at the end of the day it was designed to LOOK like a much more effective system without actually being it.

If that's not ricey I don't know what is.

>>14110816
It's only more consistent if you have a professionally built torque converter and gearbox. And those don't work well on the street - unlike Lightning Rods. It's kind of the 60's equivalent of Tiptronic.

>>14111267
A regular automatic shifter is pretty bad at doing what the Rods do. It'll go into neutral when you don't want to, you can easily shift from first to third, stuff like that. The Rods make sure you shift from first to second to third, without skipping a single gear, and without the messiness of a manual gearbox. A regular autobox floor shifter won't do that. The only function a Lenco does over the Rods, is hold more power-but that's not up to the shifter, that's due to the transmission underneath. If you build, say, the Turbo 400 underneath the Rods, it'll hold plenty of power, and it'll function just as well as a Lenco.

what shifts faster
a DSG style transmission or a dog ring kind like a Jericho?

see file name

>>14111327
A hydropneumatically shifted sequential manual (see: F1) shift faster than both, at about 0 to 1 milliseconds. Instant shift.
A DCT shifts at about 8 milliseconds in optimal conditions, which is faster than the Lenco. However, the Lenco is extremely consistent. A DCT takes about 100 milliseconds in non-optimal conditions to shift (when the computer isn't expecting it), and I doubt the Lenco will take that long. Also, I doubt a DCT can take the kind of power a good Lenco can.

>>14111403
motherfucker a lenco is not a jericho

There's a reason why pro street dragsters and others use lightning rods or hydromatics

woah i asked whats FASTER
not whats better. oh come on, reading comprehension much?
is the way you are IRL?

>>14111411
My bad. Anyways, in terms of speed:

Electrohydraulic sequential > DCT > sequential dogbox > H pattern dogbox (like Jerico)

Also, DCT's are quite unsuited to extended race conditions. It took Porsche ages to get them right - only to be superseded by a 'regular' electrohydraulic sequential.

>>14111327
>>14111403
>>14111470
I got confused by the picture posted in >>14111327, my bad. You showed a built 4 speed sequential, not the 4 speed H pattern Jerico is most known for.

>not what it's made to look like
So its like your trap gf?

>>14111825
Yeah but wiggling the shifter back and forth on my trap gf is a lot more satisfying and produces faster results.

>hey, let's make another Hurst Cutlass
>great idea
>let's put lightning rods in it too
>awesome! what engine should we use?
>308

>>14111853
faster results? lie

>>14111934
308?

>>14111934
>307 Olds
Unfortunately it's all Oldsmobile had left that was Oldsmobile and no doubt Olds true believers would be damned before they'd use a Chevy or Buick in their halo offering. At least they managed to tweak it for a bit more power than the regular 307

>>14111953
>typo

>>14111009
There would be no point. Most standard automatic trannys already have a selection that allows manual selection of lower gears. And they do it without the potential of fucking shit up.

>>14111141
I like your numbers

>>14114698
At most, I see a 6-speed allowing selection of 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. I want to jam levers to go through all 6.

>no point
The point would be that I think it's cool.
It could also nearly thief-proof your car. What's a nigga gonna do if he breaks into your car and there's just a bunch of unlabeled levers jutting from the floor?
