when you shock the drivetrain (read:awd launch, speed shift) it will eventually cause tranny failure. if you drive the car smooth you'll have a tranny that lasts longer and have a happier car

i don't see how speed shifting is bad. shifting is shifting. As long as people don't slam those gears. i mean if the clutch is disengaged, it really doesn't matter how fast you move the hand.

is granny shifting the way to go? haha.

Moving your shifter faster than it wants to go will wear out your synchros.

Dude, there's something between granny shifting and speed shifting. Even with the clutch disengaged, you are going to wear out the sychronizers faster if you shift too fast.
