tiptronic for dummies
first off why are u racing a tronic. my buddy has a 03 eclipsr tronic and they are quick but uf u expect to race w/ a lot of power u will go thriugh tiptronic transmissions like every race. tiptronics are just like autos and cannot handle high horse. so ne way back to your question u can only go 1-2-3-4 and they do not have 5th gear! u cannot go from 1-4 or so on. so good luck!

I hate to break it to you nmbr1hondatuner, but the RSX has a 5 speed automatic. Also your comments about automatics are off. Most of the fast cars that don't have full racing air shifted transmission have automatic transmissions.

tiptronics are autos. sorry. and a properly built vehicle, auto or manual, will have no problem with putting power down. you can get a better tq convertor for an auto, and have no problem. so unfortunately, you're not going to blow up your trans. and if you shouldn't be racing a tiptronic car... why are all F1 cars tiptronic (semi auto gearboxes) why is the ferrari enzo "tiptronic" you can get it in porsches... bmw has SMG audi/vw has their new DSG trans setup... all of which are basically manually operated auto trannies.. (we can nit pick, and i know that some aren't quite that way) but you get my idea. the power glide 2 spd trans was preferred in racing for a long time, and it was *gasp* an auto... drag racers prefer autos for their consistency... not all, but most... dodge's new drag neon is an auto... anything else to back this up?

hey guess what the paddle shifters on a F1 car are totally different than an acura RSX tiptronic! sorry i thought the RSX was a 4 speed! your right about that. but i was not talking about a completely built rsx. i was talking about a mostly stock rsx tiptronic. not some $16,000 F1 paddle shifting automatic set up shit!

If you think that the transmission will not be able to handle it, you must be used to your fwd GM trannies. Sorry, couldn't help myself.

the point was there.
you neglected to comment on the other trannies that are noted... interesting... i'm pretty well aware of the difference b/n an F1 trans and an rsx. the point is that an auto trans is not incapable of drag racing, especially consistently. to tell someone they shouldn't be racing if they've got an auto/tip tronic tranny is ignorant. telling them they'll blow a trans a race is also ignorant, more on the borderline of stupidity.

You did not just called the transmission in F1 cars or ferrari's triptonic  Take that back. tiptronic tronsmisions are manually sfited auto'sF1 and ferrari's have SEQUENTIAL transmissions which are manual transmisions with an automatic clutch and in the case of ferrari made by magnetti marelli.

that's why the FIA is going to ban "automatic" transmissions?
it's the same technology. the 360 F1 has an "automatic" function. it's the same idea, same technology. an F1 car may not have an "auto" tranny, though it's the basis of the technology, and what has trickled down to the automotive world. so, yeah, i'm right...

There is a huge difference between a triptronic and a sequential transmission. Triptronic: An automatic transmission is driven by hydraulics. The bands and torque converter replace the clutch that would be found in a manual. Triptronic allows you to shift as though you were driving a sequential. The two are VERY different though. Triptronic is just shifting through the gears manually on an automatic transmission. You would get the same effect starting in first, going to second, then third, and then drive on a normal automatic. There is nothing special about a triptronic setup. Sequential: These are used in Formula 1, Rally, and some high end exotic cars. This is a manual transmission with metal gears and a clutch. The only difference is that the computer controls the clutch timing. This allows for better and quicker shifts. Some have an "automatic mode" which will make it so you don't have to shift, but the transmission is still a manual. There is a HUGE difference between a sequential and a triptronic transmission. It is not the same technology. Formula 1 and Rally DO NOT use automatic transmissions. Neither do the Ferraris, BMWs, and Mercedes that have paddle shifters. They are all manual sequential. It is like how some people think that they use automatics in top fuel drag racing, nope, manuals. How anyone would ever think that an automatic could handle that kind of power. The bands would tear them selves apart. |

whoever has said that automatics cant handle power. once you get to a certain power it is recommended to go automatic and about most drag cars being automatic they all are how would you like to go through your gears in 6 seconds wouldnt be very enjoyable let alone getting a stage 5 clutch down
