ok i know people say DONT powershift in a t45 and stuff like that. well today i went to burger king for some chicken fries and i powershifted the **** out of our family beater Ranger... how the F$#@ can a ranger trany hold up to that but a t45 cant? is it just because there is way more power in the stallion or wat

 

That's a good guess. I'm going to say it's the power factor seeming how a ranger's tranny doesn't have to work as hard. Just a guess. Might wanna wait to hear from someone with a few more credintials.[&:]

 

lol im waiting for stang2000 lol that dude knows wats up..but i just thought it was funny, toolin down the street powershifting...in a ranger, chirpin 2 and 3rd wat bitches hahaha

 

Its not like the 45 is going to be instantly gutted if you do it.

Its a matter of abuse over time, it could happen the first time, the tenth, or the 1000th... but its a matter of time if your powershifting a 45.

Also, I am sure your ranger doesn't have a short throw shifter, so even powershifting takes mroe time than speed shifting a 45 with a short or even stock throw. Add in the lack of TQ on a 4cyl ranger, etc etc, you have the idea.

 

I think the rangers have the same tranny as a mustang. I may be wrong. But if im right they have not alot of hp or tq so it would take less abuse.

 

The reasl question here is....

Why were you powershifting the Ranger??

 

because i felt like it

 

i powershift daily in my car and havent had any problems with my trans

 

wow, sucks to be your car

it's alot of fun though, i used to do it all the time in my old silverado [sm=gears.gif]

 

lady that had it before never beat on the car and took care of it i got it with 61K it now has 65K and i have been powershifting now for the, i say like the last 1500 miles.. was way to afriad to do it before lol
