Launching and shifting a manual at the strip is the biggest part of it. Took me a long while to learn to speed shift the Challenger, and going from 2nd to 3rd with my foot to the floor on the throttle still gives me pause at times LOL

Got more balls then me friend. I had a clutch disk explode and put holes in the friggin tranny houseing. I cringe everytime i let off the friggin clutch in a higher rev. Im a big puss when it comes to my 370 man its to god damn expensive to fix. So I typically wont dig race or nail it right at the light or something.

How many autos have we seen die on here versus 6MTs? I don't think there is any evidence that the 6MT is prone to failure. And no, this is not a comment about whether Auto or 6MT is better generally speaking.

You really think so?.. I can see now that you really have a lot to learn.

Not total failure of the tranny but to the point it needs work yes the auto is holding up better. Considering I'm on my 3rd and a lot of other people are having synchro problems left and right. Shift forks breaking. So as I said the auto seems to take the abuse better. Probably because of the precise shifting of the computer. 6mt are notorious for synchro problems

Their are some individuals running quadruple WHP #'s with 6mt .. no issues. (z33)
If people are busting shift forks, it's because of User Error.

How many miles have you put on the car since TT? How hard have you been driving it?

bullitt5897 · 03-20-2012, 11:00 AM

You know the answer to that... The car has seen tons of dyno time and travel around shows. Still finishing up on the build before I give road going perspective on the car. Widebody finishes this week and back to GTM for final touches and then home again.

^Dyno shootouts and rolling a car into a show does not count as being "pushed"..

Check this vid out of a legit 1000whp+ z doing back-to-back passes at a track and decimating all of the competition. Domestics included..

Hal's car is a beast one of the fastest Z's in the country.

It is still I believe to this day the fastest 6 speed,there are other z's that are faster with different transmission though.

Go put that car on the track and see how long those syncros last. You shift hard they won't last that's y Nissan won't replace the tranny if the see the shavings or little dust particles on the magnet on the tranny. Go take a visit to the drivetrain section and go see how many people are having grinding problems! I put 25000 miles in one year on my car. That's my daily 50 mile commute and my weekend stuff. My first tranny started grinding at 2000 miles off the lot.
