its when you shift without stepping on the clutch pedal at high rpm's. sometimes there is a "point" where it will rev match perfectly so you can do this


and its very bad, you can mess up your tranny fast if not done perfectly

in all honesty, just shift when your powerband ends. do you track or do you just want to go faster on public roads?



The pleasure of a dream is that it is a fantasy. If it happens then it was never a dream to begin with.

My buddy has a superchargered s2k, and that its rear wheel drive and it loses about 40% of its power from the drivetrain, axle, and other things.

wrong. you DO engage the clutch while powershifting.

yes it can break a tranny down fast if not done properly. when i was 16 i destroyed my first tranny while trying to learn this method. once you get it though it works everytime.
