Default Tranny Argument

What do you say.
If your going to have a shoot-out between the Automatics and Manual guys and some of the guys changed from an A4 to a TH-400 with a ratchet shifter, who do they run with?
They have to manually shift, but no clutch.
This is a disagreement we are having over on the EFA board

I'd say put them with the A4s as well, it's still an auto trans.
Now if it were a true sequential semi auto with a a clutch (but yet still no actual clutch pedal) then that might present a truly tough dilemma. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I agree with you all LOL
But, the M6 guys say no, they have to physically shift so the two guys we are talking about has to be on there "team". Auto's -vs- Manuals shoot out.
The only way they have a chance is if they are on there team <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />
Right now we are all joke having some fun with each other. I'm sure when we actually all hit the track they will be with the Auto's.

If it has a TQ converter it's an automatic.

That would be like saying that an air shifted manual transmission is an automatic. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
