>>and two (two!) new 6-speed gerboxes.Maybe if you tried depressing the clutch PRIOR to shifting? I've found that it helps to release the gas pedal during that shifting procedure as well. Of course, that's just MY experience....your mileage may vary. :)

Oh, and that red area on the tach is NOT the recommended shift range....
***Maybe if you tried depressing the clutch PRIOR to shifting?Shit, I mean shift, I shall try it tomorrow. Sounds like a good idea.
***I've found that it helps to release the gas pedal during that shifting procedure as well
Now you are pushing it. You mean I need to do ALL THIS?
***Of course, that's just MY experience....your mileage may vary.
Mine does indeed. Well, you can't win them all...
***Oh, and that red area on the tach is NOT the recommended shift range....
Not with Dinan. It moves the rev limiter to 7000 and eliminates the red zone.
Oh, that joy of 6500rpm gear shifts!
Unfortunately I routinely hit the rev limiter in the second and that is not pleasant. It is all the engine's fault, it is so smooth you don't really feel getting there.
Next you are going to tell me it is wrong to drop the clutch at 5000. That can't be right, those cool guys at Car and Driver do it all the time. Man, that's life...
> > ...hit the rev limiter in the second and that is not pleasant.Kinda reminds me of a solid state amp clipping. :)
Now what we need is a TUBE rev limiter. It's just get all soft and mushy, instead of slammin' your chin into your chest.

Good analogy too. All I need is a 350hp tube, lessse, at about 735W per hp that makes about 257KW tube, if I dig deep enough in my junk box I just might find there one like that... I don't recall what was the largest one the Svetlana made, but we shipped some in crates taller as I am. Water cooled ones for LW transmitters.

***And I know a guy that can make you a tow-behind trailer to carry it in. :)...I might need one just for my traffic tickets. My insurance bill I can still fold twenty times and fit in a briefcase.
