What is so bad about an automatic transmission?
Why do they get talked down so much when it comes to racing? I can maybe see if you are going to race a small car or something, because you would get more power out of it, since small cars are made for economy mainly. But, if you ask me when it comes to sport/muscle cars, it doesn’t matter if it’s an automatic or five speed. They are still fast. What do you think the pros of an automatic transmission are for racing?
There are many types of automatics – the one that is generally shunned in racing is the planatary gear torque converter automatic that most of us have driven. Automatic manuals (manual gearboxes that shift automatically) are preferred for most racing applications.
There are also many types of racing. The transmission needs for a top fuel dragster are very different than a F1 car.
Given all that, traditional automatics tend to be heavier (bad), un-locked torque converters eat up power (bad), an automatic may not put you in an optimum gear for every track situation, and under extreme and persistent loads automatics are more prone to fail than a manual.
