To answer my own question....

I found a claim like this somewhere "out there"....

A non-lockup TC absorbs ~2-7% of total engine power due to the "slippage" that exists between the impeller and turbine.

Assuming that you had a real good TC, on the low-loss end of that claim, 2% loss in efficiency seems excellent, and I would guess better than any existing sled transmission. Hmm... there may be a new experiment being planned out in the back of my brain.

Also note: A TC using hoses with a valve block would make for a very clean reverse.

This approach would also eliminate all torque related chassis stress, need for aligning the engine, allow significant weight reduction due to less motor mount, no chaincase, etc.

And of course, throw in a spring, piston, and shock absorber somewhere on the high-pressure side of things and all motor roughness would be absorbed.

I think you have nailed it ......This along with powersteering would be mind blowing smoothens with no jar in the handle bars ...... Only thing left to do is make it electric but im guessing polaris to go that route first some day soon like the ranger is all ready is to bad it is slow as hell

I would personally like to see a clutch capible of taking the 11,000 rpm that motor turns and removal of the gear reduction system.

Here it is, just not in a consumer app.

If you look back through the patents yamaha applided for there was one on a cvt slipper,or sprag type clutch that was in there with the power steering ones. As we know the power steering one is here. Just think how much smoother this sled would be if there was 0 deceleration,against the motor, when you let off the throttle.

not sure why no one on here has bought one of these, with all the money spent on turbos, computers etc.. this is a computer controlled primary. Intatanly change from pre programed drag racing to fuel milage with a button push.
