I got the whine the first time I took it to Maryland two years ago, but even that has nearly completely gone away. The Barton shifter transmits a LOT of noise up through the stick, but other than that, it's held up really well. My reason for switching is consistency and the desire for better times. I think I can get 10.70's out of the car the way it is, but the mph shows that the car has some 10.40's in her. Not sure I can get her there rowing! LOL!

That's good man. Most of the failures on these trans are due to driver error, but I'll stick to the stick. Mine isn't a track car. Just sees it here and there. I just want to hit 11's one day lol

Complete nonsense. You can go fast rowing gears if you practice enough and know your car well. The ONLY steadfast rule pertaining transmission choice is autos are the way to go if you are a bracket racer. Driver ability and suspension set ups are the keys to going fast at the track.

I think what he meant Steve is that if you want to go fast you go auto due to consistency and the fact you can't shift faster than an auto lol

And you remove any possibility of human error in regards to shifting late, missed shift etc.

Steve I can slam gears I race cars with clutchless jerico transmissions. The fastest blown mt82 that I know is 10.03 could be wrong. There alot of faster autos. Our trannys sucks. Autos hold more power and shift faster. Its not the 60's and 70's when autos where slow and manuals were faster.
There a reason the cobra jets are autos when in 68 there were almost all sticks

Yes auto is the way to go for the track but it isn't as fun as the manual on the streets. So since my car see the streets 99% of the time the stick is the only way I will go.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

The Cobra Jets are also NOT running the 6R80. They come with the good old C4 3 speed auto, straight out of the 60's and 70's. There's also a 2 speed option they're calling a C2, but I'm betting it's just an updated version of the old Powerglide.
