What mods do you need to powershift?

Well if your are perfect at it the there are no ill effects.
However you are probably not, as noone is and instead of wearing down the clutch like you should be to shift you are wearing down the synchro rings/hubs in the transmission. Typically they cost more than clutches to replace..
You know how sometimes it shifts perfectly and goes easilly into the next gear, adn sometimes there is a bit of resistance and then it drops into gear, well that resistance is the synchro's rubbing together to stop the gears from grinding instead.

thanks for the input, I will use the clutch all the time now.
little more pain in the ankle can't hurt anything!
Do you know if this applies to motorcycle type transmissions, I would think so.
I have an ATV, a 400EX Honda, use clutch 98% time but since the ankle was shattered riding this beast at the top of a mountain, I rode down (slooowley) 10 miles shifting with hand and no clutch (fun)

Not sure, don't know too much about bikes.
a tip though.. Take an empty 2L plastic coke bottle and roll your sore foot back and forwards on it when you are sitting in front of the computer or watching TV.
It'll help with you rehab
