if the rpms are right you can, but not if you are dragging the car, it has to be a more consitent rise and drop in the rpms, you can all most hear when they are in sync, i have do it a couple of times when going through traffic, like the highway, nothing special, but you need the rpm drop for it to mesh right

Well, just ask a few people about my experiences at the track.

Ask Is2, Kawshon, Mach5, Nolimit, 18hr, Rexstang, Vrod....

I think Pat's hinting on the fact that he's on his 3rd tranny.

**** off jackass.

Why would SOA (whom the Hawaii Suby dealers aren't affiliated with) have a problem with me buying another transmission and replacing my shat 5spd with it.

Why the **** do you feel the need to tell me my technique is wrong and destructive?

You must be a homo. You must be illiterate. You must be a *****.

Why do I say these things? I don't know, I just felt the need.
