Manual owners - do you ever powershift?

[DKO]

Just wondering. I have the stock manual trans and stock clutch in my car, which I've been told for a bolt-on application is plenty strong, but I'm wondering have any of you powershifted down the track? Any bad results to report?

i beat the shit outta mine stock , n/a , and after turbo held strong the whole time .....now clutch on the other hand ..... but i wouldn't say i powershift it's more less a granny powershift lol i do lift a little but smash gears as quick as i am possible of doing

as far as anything bad the only bad i have done is missed shifts always the f-in 2-3rd shift ( which is when i usually lift the most because i miss the bitch alot more than i should lol ) but the 1-2 and 3-4 im bangin that bitch all out

Stock clutch, stock tranny. Once the accelerator is on the floor, my foot never comes off until I cross the traps. No problems so far.

I've p/s the car with the Spec only never on the stocker, the tranny is bone stock and it seems to have held up fine


Joe - ur still running a stock clutch????? WOW

Yeah, after all I've read about clutches, it surprises the shit outta me. But I'll keep running it until it fries, then probably a Spec 3+.

I'm also using the stock shifter.

Why didn't your rev limiter kick in? Anyhow, when I blow this one up, I'll have to go bigger, stronger, and faster.

I won't need that gift card until I fry this one.

Stock clutch, trans and shifter here as well....Like Joe said..."once the gas hits the floor, it never moves until after the traps"....I thought that was the only way to drive one...lol

IF you guys aren't lifting from the gas, are you still pressing the clutch in between shifts?

 

[joedls]

Yes, I am.

Ok, I don't understand one thing. If you're on the gas and you press the clutch in, don't the rpms instantly shoot to and bounce off the limiter?

 

[ArtQ]

Not if you do it fast enough...............

It's a quick clutch stab and at the same time you are shifting.

I have my rev limiter set at 6500. I have my shift light set at 6000. I don't hit the rev limiter unless I miss a shift, but that hasn't happened in awhile.
