Does anyone run an auto DSM?

Autos are the hot setup on 1Gs now. A bunch of people have run 10s lately with higher stall torque convertors and stock to near stock auto trannies. One of the guys even made some paddle shifters for his. 1.4 60's are common for the auto guys running fast.

Yup, I've seen two different paddle shifter setups.

That's my plan with the other talon. 3200 stall ipt tq converter, end clutches and their reworked valve body. This should really wake up the t28 that I put on earlier this year. You can see the engine making boost but it doesn't get to the wheels.

Holy shit, why didn't anyone tell me about this sooner?! I've been trying to find a way to make my auto faster.. I really want a shift kit, but I heard they are reallllly rare. So where are people buying this stuff? Online??

I want that paddle shift kit. I just emailed the site, so hopefully i will get some info back.

This is all 1G turbo stuff. Not 2G non-turbo.

The shift kits are pretty inexpensive but you will need it profressionally installed since there are a lot of different springs and spacers. I think you can get a shift kit for about 75 dollars whether its a 1G or a 2G turbo. I am not sure about N/A Tauni.

You can get the Alto end clutch kit for around 125 and the stall for about 475. So basically for under 600 you can have a pretty bullet proof drivetrain setup on a DSM. Might not be as fun on the street but its not fun pulling fucking trannies every weekend because of busted shit either. Synchro trannies are nice when they are in good condition but grind them gears a few times and its all down hill from there. Eventually they don't go into gear very good and then you start breaking shift rails and forks. Unless you have a fully built shep tranny like JET and some others a 5 speed is not all that dependable on a high HP DSM that shifts above 8500.

Are any of the fast FWD guys running autos?
I've always loved autos for drag racing. No missed shifts and dead on consistancy, not to mention faster shifts and less gears to row through.
