Powershifting...... good? - Page 2

jeeps are awesome, theres a lot of off-road culture here (needless to say the ricers are scared theyre gonna get run over... and in fact IT HAS HAPPENED) ive seen jeeps flying from high dunes, hills, on mountain trials, even over the islands on the street to go faster to other places... im always like O_O wow

we went offroading with it a couple of times...the only damage ever done to it was the radiator....that was his fault and stealth i dont get an allowance lol....im not spoiled...i had to buy the montero off my dad,pay for the repairs (Wich im doin myself cause i dont feel like spending 2-3k on maintenence oil etc) the jeep we have is the "fun car"

Good, then you can buy your own vehicle to practice your powershifting on.

You need to time it perfectly.... shift at redline at WOT without using the clutch..

im plannin on gettin an eclipse whn i finish the montero so ill have time to pratctice...in the possibly not so near future

Just make sure you do it to a 420a lol

I can see theres gonna be a few people without tranny's working properly in the vehicles after this weekend..   The next post in the Tech section will be.  "I cant shift into gear and dont know why. Whats wrong with my car?"

LOL im with u on that one

and it was all my fault :) yay me, im planning on getting a rabbit again (just 200 bucks at max) to practice on, and cuz im tired of my auto sissy rs -_-

now it makes me woder....can i put a manual in the montero? lol maybe i could

If you want to shift without using the clutch in power situations then go get straight cut gears.  They will be noisy.  I use to shift all the time without using the clutch except to start but in mild running applications.  Just put gentle force on the shifter when trying it, but you can still chip a tooth in the gear if you try with too much force.  If you are down shifting, as you begin to release on the gas pull it out of gear and then lightly blip the gas when in neutral and gently slide the shifter into the next lower gear; when going up a gear gently push it into the next gear when you feel the synchros mesh after going through neutral from the last gear, and of all things do it at a moderate speed, not under force of trying to shift fast without a clutch, UNLESS YOU HAVE STRAIGHT CUT GEARS!!!  Straight cut gears are a race only item; think Liberty transmissions.  If you are in a pile of money and can afford to change trannies fairly often, shift away under heavy load without the clutch. 

in other words... rev match

sebba speak more my language lol

Yeah very true but rev match isnt exactly the easiest thing in the world, changing gears without a clutch at a moderate speed is no problem, if you geeently push the shifter to the gear it will eventually engage in its own, the problem is under speed situation, im still skeptcial about it though....

Stay skeptical and save your tranny.  These little cars the trannies feel like they are going to break under hard shifting, I would be leary of doing it alot. 

Amen! The last thing we need is more broken DSMs on the market. Buy an old CRX to practice on..... lol

i would rather hack my own nut sack off than buy a honda CRX lol...ill practice on the jeep to save a DSM.....we havnt killed it yet
