and i dunno about you, but shifting fast yet still precisely isnt hard at all...ive never missed a powershift and i probably do it a lot more often than i should.
Never say never...karma will come back to bite you in the ***.

slower i shift, the more i miss. i actually miss second most because i wont put it in all the way. i feel like such an assclown when i do that. you know, i dont think i've ever missed 3rd except once i was shifting really slow and accidentally put it into 5th.

I need to tighten up my shift linkage...I have to lean back to be comfortable in my car, and 3rd is a long throw...sometimes I think I'll have it in, let off the clutch *griiiiiiiiiind, POP* and then I'll have to put in the clutch, let out the clutch, put it back in and then pop it into 3rd. It's embarrassing...

why not just put the clutch in and put it in gear? synchronizing it or something?

because if I miss a gear and just try to slam it back in after i ground it, it'll just grind and pop it back out....so basically yeah, you're pretty much right, I gotta let the clutch out and back in to get in sync'd right so it won't pop it out.

I miss third a lot also. At first I was thinking it was when I was racing but today I was leaving my xhaust place and I was taking it pretty easy and I grinded t a little. Pisses me off to because people look at you like "damn... learn to drive that thing if its going to be that loud and annoying".
