trans at burnout
Hi guys I'm new to this site and was looking over the Form on the hole trans burnout. Now I'm not a real expert on trans, but I did rebuild them for 7 years and what I under stand Is don't let the trans shift in a burn out. It's very similar to reving an engine with no load on it. Also as the trans shifts in a burnout the wheels can momentary change direction as the no load shift happens this will hurt a sprags, drums , and also differentials. The way I was told is the trans is to help push the car and in a burnout your really holding all the weight back So everything turning has no load on it. Also with the shutting down and neutral in the traps I agree with that, but if you have a old and I mean old trans with a rear pump in it you technically could do this without blowing it up. But then you could also push it to start it like a stick, but most don't have that but I thing a glide does if I remember correctly. Not sure. All I do know is that my car with 800hp and a 727 not shifting in a burnout does not blow up. Thank you for hearing my thoughts on this hope it helps.
