Best way to shift fast:

While flooring it, keep your hand firmly pushing the shifter towards the next gear. The torque on the trans keeps you from popping out of gear. Right when your foot hits the clutch it releases it. Aand bam. Powershift.

Granted ive never actually tried this lol

I shift just as fast as Op, maybe a bit slower. Always found 2 to 3rd gear easy, im surprised people have issues with it.

Depends on what I eat honestly. Could take five minutes could take ten, never really know till you get to it.




Oh, read the title wrong.

2-3 is the easiest shift ever. I **** up 1-2 more often. BPS shifter needs adjusting too. NLS is great but I should really use it less.

I have the same thing, 1-2 is brutal most of the time, seems to be a slight pause before the tranny will let me pull it into 2nd.

Just this morning I was on my way to work thinking "Huh, I wonder how fast I can shift?" The answer is not fast at all. Ended up grinding 3rd right as I was passing some young girl in a Cavy. She was probably like "da fuq?!"

Oh well.

Mine used to evaporate the tires all the way through 2nd even on 93 octane. I never had access to E-85 for mine unfortunately. I still ran 4.2 60-100 times on 93 stock turbo.

So much this. I'll never forget the first day driving around town. Started off from a red light all calm,clutch in, second, let clutch out, CHIRPCRASHTHUNKBANG. Now its like a 5 sec delay (or at least feels like it). My friends even as why I take so long.

Honestly my worst shift is the 1-2 shift simply because I never do it and it comes on so violently, but I have no boost by gear or low boost setting for 1st and 2nd, so its just straight 30 lbs right when it comes on I can usually nail out the rest of them no problem pretty quick.
