Manual owners - do you ever powershift?

[scramblr]

I cant powershift the 3650 worth shit. POS linkage bullshit.

6060 FTW

Guess it depends on the shifter. I don't have any problems with the Pro 5.0. The MGW was a different story.

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.

I have a stock shifter; no problems, shifts fine.

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

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

Do you have to do all the sticking your tongue out and shaking your hands after the run??? Glad I have an auto.

Ugh... I need to stop being a sissy and try to powershift already.


Tips anyone?

 

[marcspaz]

yea, don't fuck up...

 

[05GT3V]

yea its pretty easy, just follow these 5 easy steps

1. right foot on accelerator pedal to the floor
2. at the shift pont, left foot on clutch pedal to the floor (or to where the clutch is disengaged enough) as quick as possible
3. as soon as left foot hits clutch pedal, pull/push shift lever to next gear as quick as possible.
4. when the transmission is engaged, remove left foot from clutch pedal as quick as possible
5. repeat at next shift point

just dont miss

Here it is on an S197.



Holy shit, I embedded a video right.

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?

The only bad result's I know of are one of a close friend off mine who powershifted it at the track evertime he ran it. ( It was a basic bolt-on car just a tune, cold air, pulleys ) he ran a 13.1 at best with that alone and powershifting. Now he has a saleen blower and it is on 9 lbs of boost making IDK how much power but the car will not go into gear now because of all that powershifting. He is going to get it built now, the best be ran powershifting it was 13.4 with the blower and trans issue's, It was pretty sad. It really depends on how hard you beat on your car.
