This is an earlier model of what the transmission actually came out of, but the version of the criterion that my father was able to get the transmission from was one of three that were commissioned by the national Guard in Pennsylvania, and it was for an off-road application of said vehicle so it was like a big beat up fucking Ghostbusters ride that could go off-road and you know handle the mountains and shit up in the Poconos Because of its rarity That has a large part to do with why that transmission is worth so much but it’s fucking bulletproof a couple with some shit from transmission specialtiesIt is and ain’t.
That there is a ratchet shifter sir.
When I’m staging or pulling up to do my burnout it drives like an auto but when it’s time to take a soul, you grab, pull-up and back and drop it, then it’s in ratchet mode, 2 speed with over drive alls I do is grab the trans break button, floor it, and let her go, the. It’s ratchet ratchet ride out. Once I get out of the gas, I let it speed all the way down and overdrive you know I don’t feather it with the gas or anything and then once it gets down to speed and I go to turn off of the quarter mile and head back to the pits at that turn that you make the U-turn to go back I ratchet it back up into first And then I pull it up and drop it back in like it’s normal again.
It feels awesome honestly.
We got away from manuals because I was like my dad when it came to run those I have a bad habit of destroying them because I just drive them hard yard sale transmission parts across the track. The transmission that’s in the car is $30,000. It’s built insane. It’s just crazy. It’s got all types of crazy trick shit in it
