Oh yeah. When I got my RS, I decided that since it was the foundation for a rally car, I could basically treat it like one. I routinely would either powershift (or if I was feeling lucky, punk, I'd synchro-shift at redline or thereabouts). The car actually responded well to it, but I'm sure that I'll be very lucky to get to 50k (at 30k now, with those antics 15k behind me) without any problems. I'm actually about to start a new thread, because I'm curious about the potential medicinal effects of a lightened flywheel on said gearbox.

Yeah, I also have another question...Whats the deal with the fact that I can shift without the clutch going up the gears. For instance, I can be in 2nd and be slowly going up the powerband, and shift at 4000rpm and how I can do it is apply a slight amout of pressure to the shift lever pushing forwards, then as I sharply take my foot off of the gas, the lever will slide out of 2nd. As my rpms are then falling (becasue i had taken my foot off of the gas and am now in neutral) I push the lever into third gear, but don't push the clutch. As my rpms fall, the lever magically slides into gear, no grinding, no bad noises, but the lever just catches and slips in as I apply a little bit of pressure into the area where thrird gear is. What is this? Why is it happeneing? and is it bad? Thanks. (hope someone responds before Iblow up my tranny)
