Speed shifting ?

RE: Speed shifting ?
Nice explanation bike. The only stock tranny where it is fine to shift using rpm points is in a tractor trailer, I drove them for years and never used clutch unless starting off. On the tractors if your not at the right rpm it wont let you shift into gear even with using clutch. I would not be power shifting, it's just not worth it, too many expensive things to screw up. Have i done it, yea but not often, but i also have a TKO 600.

Can anyone tell me what speed shifting is?I have a srtock T5 and some people tell me you can shift it with out the clutch? I do not want to try this because it makes no sense. Why would all stick shift cars have a clutch if it is not needed ? I am going to the track this summer and I want to make some good passes.

Power shifting it really just shifting with out ever taking your foot of the gas pedal, no real skill involved since it is just regular shifting minus one step. but this type of shifting really eats the clutch and if you dont find the gear you will redline the engine

bikeboy587 is right on themoney.
Read what he posted because he is correct.
I can do both with my car. I can shift without using the clutch (you better know what you're doing and how a tranny works before even attempting this) and shift without lifting the gas pedal. (the only way Ishift at the track)
