my faceplated T56 experience

i installed it today. Since i read other peoples threads about them, i knew exactly what to expect

shifting straight into first will clunk a little. i found shifting into 5th gear, then back into 1st solves that problem


shifting normal makes a clunking sound while going into gear
downshifting without rev matching will make a clunk/sort of grind sound

solution- double clutch it and/or rev match. doing this makes it go in smooth and noise free

1/4 mile runs/fast shifting- OMG i love it. just like ive read before- the harder you drive it, the smoother it goes in

for the hell of it i tried powershifting. that isnt a problem, just keep your right foot flat and bump the clutch while shifting, goes right in

theres no noise while cruising in any gear.

i will get in-car video as soon as it stops raining and is dry enough so i can get traction.
