| Tyre development brought
about the need to get tyres hot in order to get
maximum traction. This started the use of water
to get tyre speed up quickly. Now tyres are
getting hot, but automatic transmissions are
subject to destruction if not careful! |

| Please read carefully
the following suggestions for your transmission: |
| |
|
GM Powerglide
Transmissions |
| |
|
Water burnouts will not hurt units, except if
you are shifting from low to high as you are
comming out of the water. Shifting under
conditions stated will cause premature clutch
wear. Suggest deceleration as you come out of
the water or power burnout to the line being
sure the tyres never grab the pavement. |
| |
|
GM Turbo Hydro 350
& 400 Transmissions |
| |
|
All water burnouts suggest starting in first or
second, but get into high gear before coming out
of the water. Normally Turbo Hydros do not have
roller clutch trouble, except occasionally in
the Turbo "350", but for durability reasons it
will pay to follow the suggestion as stated for
preventative maintenance. Beu sure to decelerate
as you come out of the water or power burnout to
the line being sure the tyres never grab the
pavement. |

Ford C4 & C6
Transmissions |

All water burnouts should
be started in second gear and shift to third if
necessary. If you should start burnout in first,
shift immediately to second gear before tyres
com out of the water. No matter whether it be
second or third gear you are in, as you come out
of the water, you should start to decelerate
eingine or do a power burnout directly to the
staging line being sure the tyres never grab the
pavement. The power burnout provides the
best E.T.'s of no dry burnouts are done. No
matter if you have a trans-brake or not, we
suggest not doing a dry burnout!
Note:- Rear
End Breakage and Driveshaft Breakage: If rear
end or driveshaft breaks while in first gear
acceleration or burnout, remove transmission and
check rear roller clutch for damage. |
