Between Power shifting and Speed Shifting, because ive heard that T-5s cant take powershifting but speed shifting is ok, so whats the difference?

in reply to b i think thats liek double clutching u get the car in neutral to match the rpms of the transmission with the engine and then u can shift it into the next gear becasue everythigns spinnig at teh same rate and then they mesh, i seen some guy do it in a jetta, thats the only way he shifted, guess it doesnt hurt the trans

it does, i hear it will kill the trannys almost instantly, but i HEARD that
a, whats IIRC
b, not using the clutch, like getting the engines RPMS to match the speed of the car and pulling it into neutral and then same thing into next gear?

Shifting without the clutch is just retarded.

had to get used to it when I drove semi trucks, a fully loaded semi you can start it in 1st gear and drive away, talk about torque[&:]

RE: Whats the Difference?
everything bein talked about in this thread is bad for trannys(yea sept those semis, but thats not a mustang or a t5[8D])
speed shifting as in just clutching just enough to shift... yup hurts syncros
power shifting as in w. no clutch... stupid to do... kills syncros
shifting w. out clutch, but still matching rpms... still hurts syncros...

ok to clear one thing up.... DO NOT shift w. out the clutch... not even if you put it in neutral, match rpms and then put it in gear... DONT DO IT... kills syncros....
