Today i was taught how to powershift and i can do it now... I tried 5 times from 1st to 2nd and all 5 times were successfull... Providing i dont miss a gear, is this really hard on the trans??? Ill probably only do it racing.
Definitely get the Pro-50 shifter, but you will still tear the trans up. You'll lose 2nd or 3rd gear, usually 3rd. It does feel really good powershifting a sloppy old t-5 don't it?
Well so far i havent missed once..... is this a once in a long time thing to do??? As i said before.. syncros are fine.. no grinds anywhere or popping out of gear
I've known people who were replacing gears and synchros every several months, but they raced every weekend. When i tore mine out i got a TKO, it seems that most switch to TKO, but a lot go to a C4 auto. Powershifting is great but it WILL take its toll, only doing it every now and then like you plan to do you could go a long time before a failure, but there will be a failure. I honestly miss my T-5, i loved powershifting it.
2nd to 3rd i never tried and i dont wanna try yet bc i might miss.... my shifter is missing the spring thatll throw the shifter over out of 2nd..... Aint gonna risk it yet
I dont think its a great idea but hey if you have money to buy a new trans every now and again just do it. I'd rather lose a few tenths and speed shift.
