Accidentally shift into first instead of third on the highway and personally introduce the transmission to the pavement...

shit that never happened.

going from 5th to 3rd to pass dummies

I can't even select first when i'm doing over 35 with my synchros...

he should have gone into 4th
thought dropping one gear is enough to overtake someone
but maybe he had a gutless engine and a pigfat car

probably a Prelude

i thought all american cars had at least a V6

>tfw my Volvo's transmission is so dummy safe that the only problem when shifting into the wrong gear is the noise

Like, I can start in the fifth

It's hilarious

You must have an extremely exciting gear ratio

I can get to about 60 in my car in second. Only do it when I'm at the track though

My auto Ford f250 does like 85 in 2nd

Most cars won't even let you into first going higher than 25mph

That's pretty good. Here's your (you).

What. The. Fuck.

>"i bought a civic"

Have you ever driven a car with a manual transmission? You literally can't get it into first unless you're going under 10 MPH

almost grenaded the engine but japanese stronk i guess

That means you can rev to 11k safely whenever you want user

Your clutch loves it.

Start putting some money aside.

That's not the synchros though

>This thread
Veeky Forums is full of fucking retards.

the cherry on cake just arrived I see

Be the change you want to see and leave.
BTFO!!!

It's funny because I've read about people moving the rev limiter for this specific engine up to 10k.

What car and motor? What all mods? Pics?

I like track cars but you kept details suspiciously vague.

Is it a Unimog that you caged and lowered? Please say it's a Unimog that you caged and lowered

It's an mr2 with a 20v 4age

That's neat user. You said you built it for track, did you strip it?

So far I've removed some of the cabin crap, removed the A/C parts, I still need to remove the carpeting and parts of the dash

20V? You might have a Dagumi engine.
Memes aside, the silvertop swapped into the 86 was a group A engine so I don't know if you should go to 11k all the time.

Also where are you located?
There was a 20v silvertop swapped AW11 MR2 that I was looking at for a bit but never went to see.

Mine isn't silvertop, it's blacktop (unless I'm misunderstanding your post)

I'm westcoast

Blacktop is different than Silvertop. Blacktop is 5th gen 4A-GE, Silvertop is 4th gen.

I'm midwest.

Well it was to my understanding silvertops were colloquially known as 16v and blakctops 20v

whoops

Silvertops are also 20v

all the previous 4A-GE's are 16v afaik

Oh dog americans talking about manual transmissions. Most cringeworthy shit I've seen today

Guess you haven't looked in the mirror yet.

Just take a look at the first two replies and you'll know what I mean

What ever could make you think I'm a mod? ;^)

hey alphonse serious question
do you drive a car, and if so what model?

>redline 3rd

according to a calculator, i hit fucking 15.5 THOUSAND. not sure how accurate it is, but still.

C4 lt1 vette

Nissan GTR NISMO.

I bounce off the limiter at about 70 in second

whoops, miscalculated and plugged in 1st gear data for 2nd gear. it was actually over 9300. less impressive than 15k, but still 2 grand over even what the max safe speed is with a tune on stock block

i'm gonna trust you since a GTR Nismo seems a little more outlandish.

Good taste though, the C4 is a really good value too.

samefag

?

>changing your ip
Nice try fucker.

man cmon
just because i treat alphonse like a human being doesn't mean i'm him
notorious shitposters are people too

Why would you not clutch in as soon as the revs shot up?

>notorious shitposters are people too
looks like we got fuckin comedian over here

...

oh you cheeky kunt
you wrote both cars

you got me xD

Why would you drop a gear to pass someone? Isn't the point to go at least 10MPH FASTER than whoever you're passing? Why not speed up?

Yes it fucking does, nobody in the world except alphonse treats alphonse like a human.
That motherfucker walks outside and people bump into him because they don't even realize he's not a breeze of air

Should get the plug in to ID him easy, like it's hard though.

Half not realizing I fucked up, half shock after realizing i fucked up. Couldn't form the thought in time.

assmad gm fangirls spotted

...

I know, that's why I don't push it

Still, getting some growling instead of killing the engine is a plus in my eyes

God please be a bait post...

You drop a gear to speed up lmfao have you ever driven a manual

go to bed ethan

Ummm unless you changed your gears, no. I too have a c5z. 1st tops off around 50, 2nd is about 70 and 3rd at 100. Give or take a few mph but what you state? No.

>What's revmatching?

>that's not going to help
>your wheels are still going over 10mph and so is your tranny, even when you push the clutch in

Bro I get my VW Rabbit into first all the time at 15+ MPH, despite the factory-clapped-out shift linkages. Double-clutching helps quite a bit, but isn't mandatory.

Just because you don't know how to do it, doesn't mean it's impossible.

Why were you going into third at 75 anyway?

>mfw I have an automatic and manual steptronic transmission

>tfw convenience of auto in stop start traffic or manual on the twisties

Have fun with your shit blowing up if you drive regularly with anything over a 9k redline when at stock.

4AGE's without mods can't take as much as you'd think. You CAN get to 10k safely with quite a bit of mods, but there's a reason why people limit 4AGE's to 9.5: longevity.

If you want a Dagumi :DDD engine, you need a purpose built, custom piece with all the mods on it. Even then the Initial D engine probably needs a rebuild every second race.

I accidentally did this in my jeep at 45 mph. Thank god I still had the warranty at the time

NO CLUTCH NOT A MANUAL

NO CLUTCH
NOT A MANUAL

THERE'S NO CLUTCH
IT'S NOT A MANUAL

...This is starting to sound like a Regular Fur Reviews segment.

There are cars that go 200+mph on powerglides regularly and I'd bet salt flats guys go even faster with them. It's a 2spd.

So when I shift gears, say from second to third, is it normal to feel a little whirring vibration from the clutch pedal as I depress it and press the accelerator at the same time? That seems to give me the smoothest shift.

Also, it's taking me far too long to get from stop to first gear. Giving it around 2000rpm and slowly letting the clutch go as it starts to bite is the right way correct?

And lastly if I'm braking is it okay to brake in say 5th gear to a stop without stalling? All I've been doing is shifting to neutral and coasting to a stop but I know that's not right.

Be a good boy and help me find my sides.

>So when I shift gears, say from second to third, is it normal to feel a little whirring vibration from the clutch pedal as I depress it and press the accelerator at the same time? That seems to give me the smoothest shift.
Dunno what you mean, could be car specific.

>Also, it's taking me far too long to get from stop to first gear. Giving it around 2000rpm and slowly letting the clutch go as it starts to bite is the right way correct?
Learn the balance between right amount of clutch and gas without looking at RPM too much. Try taking off aggressively, experiment with the whole take-off progress until you're confident you won't hold traffic.

>And lastly if I'm braking is it okay to brake in say 5th gear to a stop without stalling? All I've been doing is shifting to neutral and coasting to a stop but I know that's not right.
Shift down gear to gear (skipping a gear is okay too, if you can rev-match precisely or use your brakes more). This way you use the engine to break, which saves gas and your brakes. Learn to rev-match for smooth slowdown, which you already seem to have some handle on if we go by your first point.

That's not a manual you retard

>Dunno what you mean, could be car specific.
It's a little feedback from the pedal. It feels like something is transferring a rotating motion, like the clutch against a surface.
>Learn the balance between right amount of clutch and gas without looking at RPM too much. Try taking off aggressively, experiment with the whole take-off progress until you're confident you won't hold traffic.
Yea that's something I'm still working on. I tend to depress the clutch too fast and jerkily take off so I've been going slower.
>Shift down gear to gear (skipping a gear is okay too, if you can rev-match precisely or use your brakes more). This way you use the engine to break, which saves gas and your brakes. Learn to rev-match for smooth slowdown, which you already seem to have some handle on if we go by your first point.
So when the RPMs drop to like 1500 or the engine sounds very dull that's when to downshift, right? Do you give it any gas like when you upshift? And you can downshift while braking without damage to the clutch, right?

He's right for the wrong reason, it's not a manual because there's no USER OPERATED clutch. Autocucks will grasp at straws all day to pretend they don't drive an automatic but at the end of the day there's no middle ground.
