April 13, 200619 yr Slush box is typically reserved for Auto trannies Acid.Pumpkin = rear (front on 4x4) differential.Slicks (self explanatory I think)Mouse = small block chevy.chop = lowered roofsectioned = body "chop" .... eg. doors and fenders have front to back piece removed then rewelded.channeled = lowering the body by modifying the floor pan usually.tubbed = cutting out and creating new bigger wheel wells to fit drag slicks.I'll think of more later I'm sure.
April 13, 200619 yr Body dropped= basically "sectioned" but its more new school<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I would call that channeled actually, sectioning is like mega hard to do.

April 13, 200619 yr Granny shifting.Speed shifting.double clutching (I know what it is but 90% of "car guys" get it wrong )Power shifting.In 4x4, "Granny gear" is often used.When you take the CDL test, you are supposed to double clutch, in reality, no one does. My understanding of double clutching is (never had to use it since I've never takin the CDL test, don't plan on it either, but I can still drive a semi...) Use the clutch to put the transmission in neutral, match the revs needed to downshift and use the clutch again to put into gear again. Used on unsychronized transmissions, you don't even need to do it if your know what your doing. Powershifting is when you shift a manual transmission w/o taking your foot outa the fuel. Granny shifting is shifting a tranny the normal slow wayNever heard of speed shiftingGranny gear = uber low gearing.
