Clutchless Transmission
 

Any of you guys have any knowledge of clutchless transmissions? I did the search but didnt really find much except people talking about it in 04.... Just wondering if anyone knows a company or anything that makes them. I was thinking about looking into doing it to my AT...

I know it will be a crap ton of money, but I see it as a way to have my baby be manual while still saving my knee from the shifting madness that is Southern California Traffic

All transmissions have clutches. Automatic cars just have a centrifugal force clutch which engages when you release the break. What you're asking is not really possible so just use the paddle shifter or get a manual. I live in OC and drive a stick. Its not that bad, and im a lazy stoner. Nothing could be worse than traffic on the 5 during rush hour.

I dont mean a compeltely clutchLESS transmission. I mean the type that are used in Racing. It is for all purposes a manual transmission but it does not have the Clutch Pedal. Similar to the SMG in BMWs...

I also live in Orange County and that traffic is what I am talking about. I have an extremely bad left knee which would make shifting a large hassle. It locks up even when I drive my AT.

So I was just wondering if anyone had possibly done so on their ATs or if have any knowledge on what I am asking about.

But thank you for your input Blazed.

buy an m3..

The only thing that comes close to what i think your looking for is 5zigen twin mode clutch system. An they don't make it for the rx8. An the cars they do make it for u still have a clutch but its on a button on the shift knob. So u don't have to use your leg to push the clutch

Hmm interesting, Thanks for the input. I posted this in the So Cal forum as well and one of the guys has some possible info on what I am looking for. So hopefully I can talk to him this saturday at one of our meets.

Don't be an ass... I am asking a question because I am interested and couldn't find anything on this in the search. If you don't have anything constructive don't respond.

seriously 2003+ m3 has an "electronic clutch"......

yeah get outta here, buddy. this is AT forum. i am not trying to be mean or anything.

I realize that, thats why I mentioned the SMG in BMWs. But I am looking for something i can put on my 8.

So if you werent just trying to be an asshat I apologize... but there are to many of them on this forum when people are asking serious questions.
