Talk to a tranny guy sometime....He will back up what I just said.
Not on the topic.

The discussion is brake torque. The vehicle is not moving and the clutches are not engaging or disengaging. So, there is no wear on the clutches.

You are speaking of high powered shifts where there is significant clutch wear and high heat conditions for an extended period.

Why would I want to talk to a "tranny guy"? I'm a mechanical engineer, as you know.
