Smile No lift shift, not as the other thread

After I hit the 500kkms mark, I was not able anymore to handle myself, I had to try it!

This is so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


For the one with more mileage, I'm sure you tried it often, any issues with tranny or clutch so far??

i give it 50k and ill say clutch 20's alittle soon imo (tranny should hold up plenty well to stock hp) although the clutch is redisinged for ss/tc... well its not the same part # as ss/sc anyways....


who knows... at least gm will have a hard time saying it was abuse that caused failure (since they handed the op the car and said "here theres a great new way to thrash your drivetrain built in")


but they'll find a way somehow....

You must not have read a damn thing about this car.

You should really get under one and look at the axles and intermediate shaft. The clutch is supposed to be over-built etc. This feature was put in to relieve the stress of people doing "no-lift shifts" anyhow.
