Default dry clutch automatic

a th 400 with a clutch in front. rev your engine, pop the clutch and shift the trans without ever having to use the clutch? the co that makes it may do it again if there is interest. by the way it is not me. l'm just trying to get an idea if there is any interest

I've always wanted one of those. I thought they lost their popularity because of the input shaft breaking.
Isn't it just like neutral dropping it as far as the shock loads placed on the parts?
It was called the turbo clutch wasn't it?

Default advantages

the advantages are you don't have a torque converter to get hot. over a trans brake, if you have never taken a stick shift to 55-6000 and let go of the clutch then post on the stick shift section and ask those guys.
