Preserving transmission synchros

Akurei · 02-23-2015, 04:45 PM

The Z's transmission comes kind of stiff when you first get it. With some time it will loosen up and be smooth, especially with some redline in it. I like to agree on one thing. The Z with the stock clutch and flywheel takes a little bit longer to rev DOWN when UPSHIFTING gears to match the next gears rpm. I hear you can have faster down revs with a lightweight flywheel. Most likely a performance clutch would help and also more stiff motor and tranny mounts. Not sure about any side effects. Some people complain they hear noise or something with a lighter flywheel.

In regard to a base transmission without Synchro Rev match
