[QUOTE="larryc7777, post: 340237, member: 6101"] If anybody is interested in learning to powershift without putting maximum strain on the engine, just work on your technique at lower rpms & don't have the throttle floored. Take it to 3000 rpm in first, hold the throttle steady, & then CONCENTRATE on what you are going to do......stab the clutch and pull the shifter HARD into second. Be sure to make that clutch disengage & engage again as quickly as possible. You still might grind some gears, but the engine won't suffer from a missed shift. Once you have a handle on the technique, try it with a more aggressive throttle usage. When you feel comfortable with powershifting, go for the gold. Be ready to lift off of the throttle though, because a good 1-2 powershift at full throttle WILL spin the tires so hard that you will probably bump the rev limiter if you aren't ready to feather the throttle to avoid it. :beer: You'll probably find that the 2-3 shift is the most difficult. For some reason, a lot of shifters have a problem with passing through the neutral gate on the way to third. Probably the best advice that I can give is this: If you are going to powershift, then BE PREPARED TO POWERSHIFT. If you become complacent, your chances of missing a gear increase many times. Good luck & go out there and hammer some gears.:burnout: [/QUOTE]
