dump/slam...same of different
well a clutch dump is having a manual tranny and having it in first gear and with the clutch in reving and then let the clutch out completely..
a neutral drop is more common in an automatic car.. revving it up in neutral and then slamming the shifter into a forward geart..
at least thats my take on it..
i have an automatic in my car and i will never ever do a neutral drop nor will i do the the reverse to forward thing..

yea i know what they are i should of said that...i just was wondering what would be more destructive on the tranny....yea ive seen a R I C E R do a reverse slam and it only spun um for a few seconds lol
i have a 5 speed and ive done a few 4,500k dumps and it took off i just wanted to know which one is harder on it

I can't mechanically explain why, but a neutral drop will break a (auto) tranny faster than dumping the clutch on a 5 speed.
Of course, it's still not recommended with a 5 speed.
I'd say that the quickest way to leave the line would be to allow for a little bit of clutch slippage (effectively numerically increasing the gearing) without allowing too much of the horsepower to turn into clutch dust.
