[Joopin]

Oh man I gotta try this... I heard of this before but forgot about it til now... as for shifing at a higher RPM, I was just telling my brother the same thing when I was teaching him how to drive stick. He was shifting so low that the jeep was vibrating cause he was in too high of gear! Yeah I got ****ed and told him not to baby it! Hammer down on the pedal and shift hard and fast, you will get MUCH better performance out of any auto with a man. trans.... I had an 86 Saab before I got my jeep and I beat the living daylights out of it... That thing would be at its best shifting at 4500-5000 RPMs believe it or not. I don't know why but that was the only car I have ever driven that ASKED for a such a beating. But is still going for the guy I sold it to with 260,000 miles on it. I wouldn't suggest shifting your jeep at that high of an RPM but it will take more abuse than generally expected.
Now that I read this post I'm going to have to try shifting without the clutch on the way to work tomorrow... I should probably leave earlier than usuall for extra practice time!![addsig]
