... how can you powershift without using the clutch [&:]
anyways, I've ben powershifting my car since it had 500 miles... that was 55000 miles ago, still have the stock clutch - have had probably 50 runs with stock tires, 200 runs on Nitto's, and 20 passes on slicks... that doesnt count the probably thousand powershifts on the street.
My clutch still holds, and my tranny shifts like butter.

RE: Shifting trick
i bought my cobra w/ 16k on it and it needed a new clutch then. i was told to much power shifting and too many burn outs from the previous owner. so i put a stock clutch back in it, and still power shift and do burnouts only at the track.

Sounds like the heat is breaking down the fluid, swap out to synthetic, betcha that fixes it.

And when you get the TSB done, it feels much better.

RE: Shifting trick
i recently started powershifting my 03 GT. havent done it in a race yet (havent needed to lol) only when im having fun. but one time i powershifted into 3rd and my CEL came on. i thought i fux0red something but it was just my O2 sensors. i dont see powershifting being hard on the tranny, just the clutch cause it sends alot more power through it. kinda explains my "puff" of potent exhaust that set of my O2 sensors hahaha.

RE: Shifting trick
correct, sure it puts more stress on the gears and input shaft of the tranny... but unless you've got a T5 it can probably take anything you throw at it... the clutch though will take a beating but even with my hp and hard shifting with 55k + miles the car still pulls the wheels off the ground with slicks... on the stock clutch
