It might just be me... but that did not clear anything up.'On crack' is a nutshell on how I explain it. Basically, the transmission is so strong that I don't rev match it, instead I mph match it.
A T5 from the Whitehouse???It might just be me... but that did not clear anything up.
It's bought second hand from my dad in 1992 (owner for 23 years) and now me (third owner). And I'm serious, when I'm at 20 mph and I downshift to 1st gear, the rear tires kick like I did a wheel spin or when you power shift on 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Along when downshifting to 2nd and 3rd gear depending on the mph I'm at, I'll kick the tire.A T5 from the Whitehouse???
Even when I let out the clutch slowly, it still does it. And I know down shifting to 1st gear at 20 mph is not bad.Down shift to 1st gear @ 20mph? Why?
I just roll into the gas @ 20 mph in second and I'm get'n sideways a little with a 3.55 gear! Mostly stock.
So I ask again, why?
I'm not critical just curious, always looking for 'a better way'.

When I downshift at a certain mile, the tire stops so hard that it sounds like I’m power shifting if you know what I mean.Ok, I read back through this, guess I'm old, wait, I am oldso I may not understand what you mean by 'rear tires kick'.
You youngsters sho do talk funny
Then you need to stop doing that (if I understand correctly) you may be down shifting too soon.When I downshift at a certain mile, the tire stops so hard that it sounds like I’m power shifting if you know what I mean.
Yeah, I know. I go on neutral when I'm going to a yielding and full stop. But I know when you downshift, your rpm is supposed to go up but, not my.Then you need to stop doing that (if I understand correctly) you may be down shifting too soon.
From my reading, you can downshift into 1st doing around 25-35 mph without overcoming the rev limiter.Then you need to stop doing that (if I understand correctly) you may be down shifting too soon.
I'm gonna say you should change your reading material. Unless you miss read it, just because you can does not mean you should. There is no reason to shift down into first gear at any time past I'd say five mph. Almost every car I've owned has been a stick so I've row'd a few gears.From my reading, you can downshift into 1st doing around 25-35 mph without overcoming the rev limiter.
If you don't believe me, then one of you guys can come down to Charlotte NC and test it out.

I'd hate for you to break a ring or pinion gear, drive shaft, trans, not to mention valve springs and related engine stuff just because a keyboard racer says 'yeah it's ok and fun too'.
Now back to getting those heads installed.
What are you building again? Street, street / strip, auto x or drifting?
Got any pics of the car?
