Message	I have 170k miles on my racedriven/daily driven car. Lots of soft sweet miles, and quite a few hard balls to the walls miles. My shifts are now pretty notchy and take just a touch of patience. However, when I double clutch, they are respectably quick and notch free. But i certainly don't go around town quick shifting at 11,000rpm either. So, with out replacing the tranny, I have found a use for double clutching. "Long story short my boost guage was off i think a couple psi and then the bulb went out on it that night. So I used a flashlight to read what my boost was. Looked like 19 pounds, but I guess I was wrong. Then to top it off, I was bouncing off the rev limiter and powershifted to third. And then the big boom. To my amazement, the next morning it acutlly started!!!! then I shut it off a couple secs later it was killing me to hear what it sounded like." - Posted by: hot90tt(underconstruction) on January 19, 2004 at 11:15 AM
