Re: Shifting Transmission: Auto or Manual?
The teams that I have seen implement shifting transmissions have always shifted manually. They had one gear that they used for ordinary driving (they averaged speeds only slightly faster than stock Toughbox transmissions). The other gear they used in pushing matches. Everyone that I saw shifted manually.
The main reason for shifting manually would be to avoid gear hunting (similar to when your in an automatic car and going around corners at about 10 mph, it jerks around a lot because it can't decide which gear is the best). Super shifters also take time to shift, so you only wan't to shift when you need to.
