speed shifting is when you floor your car and the only time u tuch the cultch is for a sec and its only to shift up like its just going threw the gears as fast as possible.

I've heard of it and tried on day and all i did was grind 2nd. I didnt havt my clutch adjusted right though. I personally recomend letting off the gas and shifting even when im rippin them.

I did that with the T5 in my old S10 and ended up screwing up 3rd gear. Sometimes I had to take the shifter off and pry on the shift rod with a pry bar to unlock it from 3rd gear (it got stuck in gear). I drove it for 3 months without using 3rd gear until I found a replacement tranny.]

T5's are weak.

I sometimes shift without the clutch on my Elantra but Ive got a 100k warranty.

gotta love that

Definately. So far I havent needed to bring it in for warranty repairs once and its got over 30k.

i did that plenty of times, i called it power shifting. leave the gas to the floor through 1-4 gaers just use the clutch in between. it does take its toll on trannys ive been through a few, just weekend racing. i dont think it will work without the clutch though.

I use to do it every weeked when I would race my 85 gt,but I would not powershift in to 3rd because I would miss it most of the time.but it does make a difference in you et.

dads done it in my 94, he knows the T5 i a piece of sh**. That's why we have a new t/tko-600 to go in it after the rebuild. Hes shifted w/out the clutch a few times and it worked fine, but that thing has 130,000 miles on it and the syncro between first and second is screwed up. He used race V8 Supercar Series in Australia and New Zealand, I'm from New Zealand but moved to the U.S. in 01.
