Yeah I saw that video a couple months back, that trans appears to be just another variation on the 'pro shifted' or faceplated T-56s that have come before it but might actually take it all a step further with the semi straight cut gears. It's pretty expensive too but likely well worth it.

IS there any reason you couldn't double clutch when you need to down shift and save the tires?

The beefier straighter gears is what makes this one special. Think Muncie M21 vs M22 "Rock Crusher".

Everyone does realize that it does have a clutch.
The title of the thread is wrong.
It can be shifted without using the clutch, but it does have one.

Sorry op- you are incorrect

i believe the term clutchless is referring to not having to engage the clutch in between gears, not as if it had no clutch at all

its basically a crashbox from the factory, which is definately a cool thing

That looks painful on the driveline :/ Also, since it does have the straighter gears, its going to be a lot noisier (you can hear it when he goes to fifth) Gonna be stupid annoying cruising.
