I have always dealt with Andy and have had nothing but good luck from them since 2003 and 4 different clutches.

They tanked with the 3/S crowd after a very good showing. One of their head engineers left and QA went to shit. ☹

Around 2003 actually. Maybe they are back onboard?

Speed shifting/power shifting WITH a slipping clutch is like the worst thing you can do. It makes no sense whatsoever to even suggest it. I can’t even find it remotely funny? It’s almost as if you think you are bypassing the “clutch”.

You fail.

is it just me or is speed shifting and power shifting 2 completly different things???

Speed shifting = Holding it WOT, while pushing in the clutch and shifting…never letting off the gas for a shift

Power Shifting = Shifting without using the clutch period.

You might not think its funny…Fail to you because it wasnt intended to make you laugh.

</div>

the thing is that the clutch is still whats transferring power from engine to transmission whether u depress the pedal or not. if its slipping already… and speed shift OR powershift isnt healthy for it.

Yea. I was trying to gauge whether or not he was serious or not and when I asked if he was retarded, he didn’t clarify that he was joking…

Umm, it’s the internet. It’s not like you can use facial expressions, body language, tone, etc… to determine how a person means something.

Other way around:

Power shift: no lift (gas) shift

Speed shift: no clutch
