perfect shift?

Question

is there such a thing in stick shifting that you dont use the clutch and itll shift on its own?

please explain

Answer 1

There is something called "Floating" your gears which the above people forgot to mention, it is what semi drivers usually do and the goal is to match your transmission speed to your engine speed. On a 3.0L V-6 it is about 2500 rpm and on my friends 06 Gli it was just above 3000 rpm. I would only suggest doing it from 3rd gear to 4th and 4th to fifth untill you get a feel for it. When you hit about 2500 rpm firmly press the shifter into the next gear and once the engine rpm and transmission rpm are equal then the gear will engage. You should not hear any grinding or other noise and be sure you are not on the gas untill you are in gear. It is best to have someone else inthe car that has done it before.

The new model vehicles have what is called a touch shift, its an automatic that lets you up or down shift by touching the shifter. In the older models clutch type you can RPM shift with out using the clutch bu using the RPMs after you pull away from a stop. Good Luck and GOD Bless

i own a repair shop,and in the late 70,s we used to power shift the Chevy's,and the fords with standard transmissions,, but if you try this now the transmissions will fly apart on you,,but the old muncie 4 speeds would take it and some of the older mustangs and the ford fairlanes also,,but now all the transmissions have softer gears in them,but we never used a clutch once we let it out of the line when we was drag racing,,,power shift all the way to 4th gear,by that time you was well over what the car should have been running at,,but that was the old days,,good luck,i hope this help,s..have a good x-mas.

Answer 4

It's called power shifting. Ol' school drag racers did it. The new tranny's can't take the stress, so don't try it. There is a such thing as an air shifter that is used these days, but they aren't for the street.

Answer 5

Yes there is. This is usually how rally drivers shift their gears when they need to do it fast. But in order to change without the clutch, you need to have high RPM's, and since rally cars engines are being pushed all the time, this makes it easy for them to do. To do it in your car you need to experiment around and see how high your revs need to go before it easily slips in. I would say try doing it from 4th - 5th first, as it is the easiest. Beware though, you risk stuffing your gearbox. Anyway for example, doing 5000rpm in m old Pulsar GTI I could slip into 5th easily. Hope this helps

Answer 6

no not without some sort of movement. auto shift will

Answer 7

yes it is refered to as power shifting

It is not recommended on newer car because the transmissions are not strong enough, and alot of syncronizers are teflon instead of metal now

Do not try this.
