I rather have a Richmond 4+1 $1,800 plus shifter

That's not the $1800 richmond 
That's a pro-shifted (or was it a full-on dog gear setup?) Doug Nash The $1800 Richmond is a regular old synchro tranny, no clutchless bang shifts there!

I don't know but I could swear
Exit and Crispeed are using the same Transmission
The Richmond 4+1 transmission
Jegs and Summit only list one type of 4+1
It is the seguential(Pro) shifter that makes it semi-clutchless
as I understand it

Hey Evil Aviator I don't think the Mazda comp tranny can handle the torque of the 20B motor! The T-56 can handle a lot of torque but they shift like grannys once they get above 6500rpm
One of the best road race trannys out there and one that a buddy of mines is using in his 3-rotor road race car is made by a company called Zanes, not to sure about the spelling though.
The tranny has a quick change design and is very strong and sfifts up and down without the clutch.

Lots
The ram-rod/front-back gate shifter he uses has nothing to do with being able to shift clutchless, (neither does a sequential shifter) it just makes it easier to not miss a shift!
BTW if $4k is too much, Quaife has a 6-speed setup for the T2 transmission, it has straight cut gears and the beefiest dogs on the gears that I've ever seen, and it only costs about $7000! ($4k is a bargain now isn't it? )

Hi,
I just spoke to Rohan re that, they went to E-town for the drags about 6 weeks ago, they finished up only having a stopover at LAX, most of the time was spent in NY & Texas. I am sorry about Rohan not contacting you but he will be back in the states later in the year he said, so hopefully he will get more time on your side of the states to come and see you and some of the other guys.

Hmm, good point though... what kind of warranty does the Guru set-up offer? IIRC the Quaife goods have an unconditional lifetime warranty.

I think the viper tranny is the best way to go with a street car thats raced often. Modified Vipers with 650+ hp still use the stock tranny effectivly and reliably. There is no need for a 4k+ tranny that will not be comfortable to drive in street use. With the Viper tranny you can still have the smooth clutch assisted shifting and keep the car noise free but still hold 600 hp. Plus you can brag to your friends and tell them that you have a Viper tranny

Get a bell housing adapter made, longer imput shaft (I think that Mike Long or Mark Williams can help out on that), New drive shaft, custom mounts. Im not sure how the tranny will line up with the stock shifter position so you migh have to modify the interior. If you know someone that ***** with fiberglass then you can make a new center console that will fit with the shifter position. You could even make a few to sell . Could you imagine 600 rwhp and smooth transitional shifting onthe street WHOOOHOOOO!!! Sounds like the ultimate street car , And not to mention the 6th gear for gas saving
