While the mechanics of a transmission are obviously important, I still think it's very (if not equally) important to make sure your drivers can work with it. I can design a 6 speed crab-omni-maks belgian waffles drive (ok maybe not, but you get my point) but if it leaves the drivers in the station scratching their heads, its completely useless. Equally useless if its just too fast/slow/whatever. I just wanted to make that point.

I think I made all the points I wanted to, so I don't plan on revisiting this thread anymore.

Back to fixing my amnesiac computers...
