what is a ratchet shifter

sonicrunch

Ratchet shifters operate like your normal auto shifter except that if you have it in first, you can slam the shifter ahead as hard as you want and it will only shift up one gear. They're great for drag racing.

The V8 guys with megahorsepower engines tend to use automatics with modified valve bodies. The horsepower loss due to an automatic is insignificant compared to how much faster a modified auto can shift (not to mention, no missing a gear, just slam the lever ahead) A properly modified auto can shift gears almost instantaneously, and since a drag race is a race against time, less time with the engine disengaged from the transmission is more acceleration time.

Our low horsepower engines really never see this benefit.
