Kinda hard not to call this one a smoke tale. Leaving Smokeydub's house the other day, he comes trotting out with his camera phone declaring he was going to take a video. Clearly, he wanted some action, and I'm not one to be accused of not putting out. Reverse to 2nd gear outta do the trick...

here's the aftermath:

1.9L ported head, T2 Giles 12mm super pump 2.5" exhaust w/dynomax superturbo muffler, Peloquin LSD
NO INTERCOOLER :oops: yet.

Nice, I like that alot! What kind of tires are you using?

Have you ever had problems with 5th gear? I've heard that the 1.9 can shred them at will.

nah. contrary to what this video might indicate, I'm actually quite gentle to my transmissions. I've NEVER grenaded one. I don't think they die from absolute power so much as they die from the shock of abrupt power application.

What did you rev to before dropping the clutch?

Dr. Diesel · « **Reply #6 on:** August 28, 2007, 11:07:12 am »

I'd estimate 3800-4000. No tach yet.

yea shock loading of gears = bad. i'm surprised my tranny isn't gone yet... 2nd gear synchro is gone... i grind it on occasion

my 3rd gear grinds if i shift fast! just try and shift slower may help? but down shifting it wont let me do without a grind though!
thanks Duane

ouch... downshifting is fine. my 3rd gear is great... i can slap it right in as soon as i'm done with 2nd. tranny was pretty sticky until i changed the tranny oil. lubed up the linkage, and i can get very quick shifts in
