its strange that this topic came up... last night in bed.. i was thinking of posting and asking what rpm everyone shifts at.. just out of curiosity... obviously, the 4 cyls will require a higher rpm... I shift my 6 cyl at about 2200- 3500 in the city... and up to 3000 on the highway... so... everyone else... where do you all shift at?
another thing... remember... most of us have BRASS synchronizers... if you are not "speed-shifting" (no clutch) at the right rpm... you are putting a lot of pressure on that soft metal... you are using that metal contact as a clutch to slow your motor down to the right speed... when you have the clutch in... the synchro is only moving transmission shafts to the right speed, which is a lot easier on the synchros... to all of you with upgraded trannies... go for it... it can even be fun, and you can show people something they never thought possible... but the rest with AX-poopies (just like i have), especially those of you who haven't made sure you have the right gear oil... BE CAREFUL, brass is a soft metal[addsig]
