So, would I want a diesel tranny or an air-cooled tranny for that one? My
guess is that if you had decent tires on it and you popped the clutch in
first gear, you would have one or both of the following results:
1) Absolutely no wheelspin, a clutch heated to 2000 degrees, and a fire.
2) A cataclysmic explosion of the transmission, throwing shrapnel into
neighboring states.
