Anyone tired of their 4 speed and went to auto?

Plus if your a real 4-speed guy, you don't use the clutch for anything but taking off in first gear

I'm fairly new to a 4-speed so I can ask dumb questions about it. How and why would you not use the clutch? Save time?

What the heck is double clutching?



Haven't driven many 4 speeds but they are without a doubt more fun.I drive mine in the city mostly.Had my 727 rebuilt and a shift kit put in.Now I shift gears anyhow,but it's nice and easy to just bump the stick forward.B+M shifter.8)

That sounds a lot like me when I had my 68 Charger with a built up shift kitted 727 with B&M Quicksilver shifter using a built 383. Except it would shift harder and quicker just by keeping my foot in it and let it shift on its own. The trans man said to stand on it and let it go..... go it would! It had 2800 Mopar Performance stall converter with 4:10 sure grip! I miss that sooooo much!


I have seen vids with racers tearing up the dragstrip using a 4-speed and using the clutch.... they have to be tired at the end of the day.
