5 speed is best speed

I have never driven anything but 5, but it makes no sense to claim 5 is best - you could have better gearing with 6 and have 5 actually be useful with 6th left for highway.

7 speed is the best, you have 6 gears and the final one is overdrive for maximum comfiness on highways
5 speed lmao, this isn't the '90s anymore

>4 speed is for boomers
4 speed above all.

Hydraulic, I have a cable clutch and you have to be super precise with it, hydraulic clutches are smooth as butter

I'd kill for a 6th o/d gear in my car for freeway cruising.

Can't go above 70mph without running the engine past 3k.

I think hydraulic has a fine feel to it, if the clutch is heavy enough. Nothing worse than a sticky clutch that you can't use to double clutch properly when your 2nd gear synchros are bad in every car you've ever tried because people can't drive standard.

I love me some cable clutch tho

Paddle shifters controlling 365 hp tops all of your shit

Jesus, if you have any understanding about gearing you wouldn't give a shit.

Fuck that noise

2000hp on a two-speed powerglide is the only way to fly.

If you wanna be fast
Powerglide makes you haul ass.

but I want a holeshot gear AND a cruising gear

> year of kek
> not knowing how gearing works
Shigggy

My top 6th gear hits like 2.4k rpm at 80mph. I wish it was geared even lower for higher highway cruising speeds and maybe lower mph.

is that what they use in those fast races?
usmileracing.com/the-arkansas-mile/

i would think they would need more gears for more speed, to not hit the limiter?

Sooooo..... an automatic. Sure bud.

Toyoder?
Mine does the exact same shit

some people like the DSG because they use special oil and are hard to rebuild.

You don't make any sense at all.

feed me, i don't know what you're talking about

Nah Chebby although the transmission is probably from the same company (Aisin)

One speed?

i have never actually seen one
RARE

>i would think they would need more gears for more speed, to not hit the limiter?
You're gearbox choices are less than a handful. Powerglide has one really low gear and one really really high gear. You could take an econo-I6 to 55mph in low gear before it shifted, so it would scream and then immediately rumble.
Somehow GM designed the most bullet proof automatic ever and that's why it's still used.
They use 3 speeds sometimes with a manual selector.

Either that or a Lenco but fuck that

You usually do need more gears. But drag cars don't run long so they can slip the shit out of their converter instead of having to get a trans with more gears.

well i thought something like an A-833 or toploader can take that much power.

its not like you are launching them anyway.

6 gears with close ratio.

Google says Aisin is part of Toyota group
That's cray yo

who the fuck is talking about drag racing? you fucking idiot.
did you leave your head up your ass when you woke up? NO ONE CARES ABOUT DRAG RACING

god damn some people are as stupid as a fucking dog.

The C32A Acura Legend Type 2 is a perfect example of this.

Came 4 speed auto, 5 speed manual, and the much more sought after 6 speed manual.

Also, personal side note:

>Current DD has 6 speed tiptronic

does this make me an autistic millennial?

Nobody uses glides but drag racers

there must be some circle track where it happens

...And Mazda, And Ford, Lincoln & Mercury. (once upon a time.)

Aisin never made a Chevrolet automatic, go to sleep.

>toploader
not as much as you think.
> A-833
I dunno about Chrysler gearboxes but we're dealing with power to the fourth digit.
You can overbuild a Powerglide easily but another thing is that you want an automatic for drag racing because it has a much faster shift time.

>we're talking about what gearboxes are used in alcohol cars and shit
>random user says nobody is talking about drag racing.

While manual is cool an all, Autos can't be beat down the drag strip. That's pretty niche.

Anyway, you thought you could drive stick?
lol pic related.

Maybe, but most circuit racing cars don't use autos because keeping the trans fluid cool becomes a big chore.

I was literally agreeing with you dood.

>Nah Chebby although the transmission is probably from the same company (Aisin)

Unless you're not him, then follow the conversation dammit.

retard

i used to daily a powerglide, it's possible.

and fun as fuck.

I'd like a close ratio 5 speed with a 6th gear. Nobody seems to make one of those. My current 5 speed could really use a 6th but when they make a 6 speed the gearing is always completely different and not what I want.

What I'm:
This guy is someone else

>4 speed is for boomers
Aww does your wee little cute Honda not have enough torkies..

I actually meant to include but double your post by accident, my bad.

fuck the memes, GM was based

>V8 that can fit in literally anything
>Auto gearbox that's actually fun

Oh.
Well, as you said, our cars are pretty much using the same gearbox, to me that's pretty dope but econobox feels

Now that that's all cleared up, *you* go to bed.

You do know that you can go taller than 1.0 right?

Yah interesting although GM cheaped out by using foreign design.

Chevy Master Race

Best of both worlds

Sure, if you drive a car with no power and never go on the highway.

that's a nice lookin' ticking time bomb you got there.

SMG master race reporting in.

emperors_new_groove_just_right.jpg

I'm a sucker for these wheels. Not sure if they're just steels with hubcaps or what but they look right on a Nova

>vehicle that's so shit at driving it needs 10 gears to move.

how much power does the average truck have?

Go or blow, nigga

...

You must be 18 or older to use this website.

Those my friend are poverty caps, and they're my favorite wheel on a throwback chebby.

*especially* with a red stripe tire like that, that tire totally sets it off.

18 wheelers in the US will normally have 400HP-600HP and 1500-2000lb/ft of tork.

mopars blow, chevys go.

get dat slow shit out mah door.

>mfw chevy cried so hard to bill france they got the hemi and boss 429 banned

Then why is u here

hot

>mfw hellcat is pigfat anyway

>big three all produced small block V8s
>except Chrysler and Ford got to use big blocks
I can see why, anyway Bill France was fucked in the head

I really hope this doesn't turn into a "This small block is better" debate.

>"Big blocks are better anyway, anonfag."

this is why the 427 exists, say waht you will, the fucking 427 is awesome af.

...

All of them have their appeal

you all are talking shit about the wrong toliet. no one cares about nascar either.

chevy gave the best big blocks to can am teams. END OF STORY

All you kids and your new fangled 5 and 6 speed transmissions. In my day we had 2 speeds and we liked it.

theres just something nice about how a big block shakes the concrete as it drives by. a small block just has another sound to it all together.

6 speed manual is the sweetest (with properly spaced gears, 6th is overdrive, 5th is 1:1). But with shitboxes with 100 hp you would actually need a 7 speed but that would be just too much shifting.

>literally sets off car alarms as it rolls by

man i wish i had a big ass ford
youtube.com/watch?v=UonisqLOnXo

What makes 6 speed for autist? 5 closer ratio gears get me to ~150 mph nicely if I want, and 6 drops the rpm way down for them cruising mpg's

then why does the c7 have the 7 speed
emissions?

it does. listen to that idle at the beginning
youtube.com/watch?v=HzzknBuD1vo

So much torque that the engine can run at low rpm on the highway and still have enough power. Running at low revs = better consumption (and also emissions, proportionally).

In 100hp shitboxes you would need 7 speeds to keep the engine in the max torque range all the time while accelerating (max torque in an N/A I4 engine normally starts at 4500 rpm). But you would have to just shift all the time so it's not practical.

why not just change only 6th gear? it was already pretty steep
nobody was power shifting that 5th to 6th before anyway.

Hydraulic no question. I haven't driven many cable clutched cars but the ones I have had all around inferior clutch feel to a hydraulic in good shape.

>dat lopey as fuck cam

I don't know actually. Perhaps it's technically hard to do, but I doubt that.

You can't just do whatever you want, you're confined within the final gear ratio.
