Hi,


Have you watched Fast and Furious 7? In this movie, Vin Diesel's muscle car in the jumping from the plane scene is really great. But I am not clear what kind of transmission is used in this car. I saw clutch, but the gear style is like auto gear style. Moreover, you can see when he reached to the ground, he change the gear like changing auto system car( changing form D to 2 or L). So what is your thinking? And also I am american muscle fans. So where can I learn those especially this car?
Thank you.

None of those are stock, original... so almost anything is possible. There are manual Transmission shifters with NO left-right movement. Called Vertigate shifters... OK for drag strip... PITA on the street. I've driven one with it, hated it.

You mean this is specialized for dragging and drifting? Although it is manual, but we can't use it as manual. I mean you are not use to drive such kind of cars. So, you don't like it. Am I right?

I know my friends GTO has one that can be automatic or can be straight lined shifted. No idea how it works, (that is not my area) but I know it is some special thing he had added.
