Can nitrous systems be used with automatic transmission / gearboxes?
Yes nitrous systems can be used with automatic transmissions and in the majority of cases automatic transmission can handle larger power increases than a standard factory manual clutch and gearbox. Even the most likely weaknesses in an automatic gearbox (the torque converter and clutches), won’t be tested to their limitations if used with a progressive nitrous system. Introducing the power gradually, puts all of the components under less stress (applies just as much to manual transmissions), so the torque converter and clutches are less likely to slip than they would be with a basic fixed hit kit.
