Straight off Rossler Transmissions website:
Special safety note: Never throw any 3-speed transmission into neutral when you cross the finish line, leave the transmission in high gear as you slow down. The internal parts will spin 2 to 2 ½ times faster then the trap RPM and can cause internal parts to explode and exit the transmission, this may cause injury and or death, the exit of the transmission fluid may cause fire or loss of control of the car. Always run a shield and all safety equipment mandated by IHRA ADRL and the NHRA. Safety is no place to cheap out!
