What exactly is powershifting????

 

While upshifting, you don't take your foot off the gas. You have it pedal to the metal the whole way while shifting. Or sometimes people let off a little bit but not completely.

ive tried it a few times, the max clutch takes time to catch, probably need to upgrade if you guys are thinking 1/4m stuff

 

Ohhhh I See Thanks For The Info!

Newbie question - I've only driven a couple of 5 speeds, but will be getting my 5 speed Max SE in a couple of weeks.

So, when you're downshifting, you don't have to remove your foot from the gas to shift? Why is this different from upshifting, where you do have to release the gas, shift, then re-gas for the gear to catch?

A simple "Yes" will suffice, if what I wrote above is correct. If someone could explain this in terms of what is going on inside the transmission, this would help me even more.

I'll stop now, before I sound like more of an idiot.

Thanks.

 

If you dont remove your foot from the gas pedal while downshifting your engine will go booooooooooom.

 

when can i buy one of those shift ***** off of you

 

Ditto ... screw Momo, this is personalized

 

powershifting is a technique that is used when drag racing...

 

I always thought it was shifting without the use of the clutch. matching revs so the sync rings would just slip into gear

 

As far as i know you can't shift without the clutch, except at very low speeds. Rev matching is when you are downshifting and want to maintain the same speed. For instance if you are going say 45 in fourth gear at about 2500 rpms and want to pass some one. Then, when you go to downshift into third bring it into nuetral, press on the gas untill it reaches about 3000-3500, downshift, and let out the clutch. it takes practice.

 

Yeh, powershifting is rowing up through a gear(s) without taking your foot off the gas. Clutchless shifting is different, and I believe it can only be done at one exact point in the powerband on each gear, going at a certain speed. It's not something I've tried out in my Max though

And yea, where can I get me one of them personalized *****? Or a pic of the whole ****?

 

thats what i was thinking the whole time i was reading this post. That **** is hot! let me know too.

thanks
