    Pretty absurd question. Regarding a Transmission for CB's

    Would it be possible to put a ratchet shifter in our cars?

    For those who have no clue what i'm talking about. Please refer to the video.


    I know it sounds crazy. But I think it would be rather cool

    I have no idea, but you're right, that would be pretty cool.

      It would require some modification to the transmission itself... essentially a rebuild... but I'm sure it can be done. I read something on a DSM forum about a Mirage that ran 9s for a whole season with a ratchet shifted automatic.

      It really would be just for the sake of being unique, though. For our cars, a manual will always be better, unless you do EXTENSIVE work to the automatics.

        Yeh well i was checking out sites that rebuilt automatics for racing. And I wondered how cool it would be to have it in a CB

            I have put much thought into having an auto tranny built to make this truely functional. But i would hate to see the price for the tranny work. I bet it will be close to 10k

              Oh, I'm sure. And then you'd need to build the engine to make enough power to make use of it!

              That's one reason why FWD automatics aren't all that popular for performance. There isn't enough demand to make the performance parts plentiful and affordable, so doing it right won't be cheap. RWD cars, on the other hand, have TONS of options. A performance automatic RWD transmission (domestic, in particular) isn't much more expensive than a manual... and since many domestic manual transmissions are pretty sloppy compared to the accurate Honda boxes we're familiar with, the automatics are often the better choice for those.

                you dont have to rebuild the trans, you can buy a ratchet shifter from summit or jegs , you need one for a 4 spd auto it comes with the cable . you just have to rig a bracket up at the trans to connect the cable and make it adjustable you can also buy the switches for neutral safty and reverse light...
