Powershifting/shifting real fast

[TurboSpoolinIns]

Does anyone know...for the past few days i've been trying to speed up the shifting/gun-ing deal when racing. When i do gun it, I feel a snap or hear/sense something might go wrong with the drivetrain if I do this too much. It is alot quicker, but for the people who do powershift and shift/gas super quick, how's all that stress on the drivetrain holding up? I'm just curious because I don't wanna break another shift fork and if this is the way to do it again, then i'm gonna have to hold off on the practicing

Anytime you put stress on the drivetrain you take a chance in brakeing something especially on a dsm because Mitsubishi screwed us by putting a crappy driveline behind the 4g63t in the eclipse and talon and leaving the good tranny in japan in the evo.
So yes power shifting / speed shifting can cause something to brake especially if done incorrectly.

do this. buy a crane hi6di2 ignition. hook the 2 stage up to your cruise control switch on your clutch. never let off the gas when your shifting. redline mt-90 helps too. dont jam it into gear. screw around with the shifter bolts til it feels smoother. ummm, when your sitting at a stop ready to race go from 1st to second to third about ten to twelve times. i think it might line up your synchros. always worked for me.



P.S. if you cant afford a new ignition, just do the other things
