If you want a true six-speed in your new R8, you can still have one. You'll just have to turn to the aftermarket to make it happen. The most interesting part of the car isn't the massive power number, though. It's the transmission. In addition to the engine mods, the customer also requested Underground Racing swap out the dual-clutch for a proper six-speed manual.
And from the photos, it seems the firm did an excellent job doing so. Launching a front- or rear-drive car, on the other hand, can be tricky. You made need to feed the power progressively on these types of cars to get the best traction. If you launch too fast or too slow, then you run the risk of burning out the clutch or damaging the driveline. Click here to view past issues. A statement that just might be the most important advice you can give your customers when it comes to their transmission.
Being guilty of it is a very common mistake, and why its a subject of endless speculation, but the occurrence of it a fact, nonetheless. The evolution of the sport has taken it beyond the track. Backing up a few decades in drag racing, especially from a novice standpoint, was a relatively low-horsepower affair compared to the engines built today.
A lot of guys drove to the track, but if you were serious, it was common and also looked good to employ a truck and trailer combo to get your car to the track. This was also a benefit if you broke something, because you still had a ride home.

When building a transmission, safety is ultimately the number one priority, with dependability and function only the number two concerns by common sense default. The best part is with the transmissions and technology available, there is no need or excuse to short-cut either. Advertisement For the all-out drag racer, two of the most historically prevalent automatic transmissions have been the GM Powerglide and the three-speed Turbo They are simply proven tough units, perhaps earning their reputations as the result of money only being spent up-front, these are the ones that took the most abuse.
The problem? The problem, however, is no longer a problem. Many companies, including Transmission Specialties, produce aftermarket Powerglide and TH cases, as well as all of the internal components.

For the GM enthusiast, the cases are still one-piece, but for Ford and Chrysler enthusiasts, the cases are two-piece with interchangeable bell housings so you can run either of these transmissions behind the small block or big block of your choice.
Although admittedly not set in stone, Kelly feels these two automatics are proving such success that they may be the only two utilized in the near future. Depending on what you are building, it is not entirely necessary to run one of these new cases. They can get away with a stock case with SFI-rated shields on it.
Multiple different gear ratios are available for either of these transmissions so you can build one to match the performance goal of your car. Aftermarket straight-cut gears are much stronger and an important change when building a racing transmission. From the factory, these transmissions came with helical gears. The tuner needed to fabricate a bunch of custom parts in order to make the gearbox fit and spent a lot of time to ensure all of the electronics would work together to make sure the car drives like stock.
Pricing for this swap will be released soon but there is a catch. Audi e-tron Range Pricing for South Africa.
