Black Smoke Racing transmission?
Black Smoke Racing transmission?
Anyone know anything about the transmission in the Black Smoke Racing W123 wagon? On their website it says they are using a modified E55 AMG gearbox. As you can see on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWoOMepM...FQ&index=3 about the 2:40 mark, he is not using a clutch pedal only a manual shift lever. Anyone know the details of this setup? I like the idea of shifting with no pedal.
here is there video of it
