It's pretty shure that we are going to break the tranny sometime but hey that's in the game of going fast, has long has i don't break the engine i'm going to be glad.

automatic trannies are quicker shifting, at times. i know some people can shift faster than an auto. not to mention that an auto weights more than a manual (details.. i know). not everyone shifts at insane speeds or rev-matches. but good on you. have fun, that is the important part.
Now if i could only recall why top fuel uses 3 speed manual trannies...
