Driving a manual transmisission, do you let off the accelerator at all when flying down the 1/4 mile?


Does doing this cause any damage?

Uh.. NOT doing it causes damage.

unas2k5

So you do let off the accelerator?

Mine dies when I hit redline. Until I release the accelerator. I can't just floor it and powershift like the old days.

In fact in that 11 sec vid you can hear him hit the limiter in 1st & 2nd.


But you can get a WOT box so it bounces off the limiter repeatedly.

Depends on how practiced you are, how well your transmission shifts.

I tend to lift slightly but not fully.

So if I get a WOT box I can set it to hit 7300 at every shift?

Thanks

Says the car might throw a code.

I let off the accelerator slightly when I shift. I used to think that I let off all the way, but passengers have informed me that there's no way I am, based on looking at my leg motions. So I guess I only lift partially. Frankly it happens so fast I don't have time to analyze my motions. Maybe I should stick my GoPro down there!

Neat idea...

MRGTX

With a dedicated race car, I think that you wouldn't lift...at least not 1-2...but if you would like to see your MT-82 live to see 10k miles, it might be advisable.

That's what she said.

Here's what I found:

WOT Box? I guess the terminology changed.

We used to call them "stutter boxes" AKA Rev limiters.

I guess the OP is asking about is the difference between "power shifting " and speed shifting.

In a nutshell, power shifting - you don't lift. Speed shifting - you lift a little bit.

If I am racing, I start to pull out of gear with no clutch then quickly hit it....it happens so fast I cant tell you if it helps much...

I rock the wotbox (dual feature/two-step/no-lift), it's pretty **** awesome...

foot to the floor the whole time, shifts like buttah.

I dont have an Mt82...built Tr6060/twin disc clutch.

unas2k5

I NEEEEEED ONEEEEEEEEE!! I don't want a check engine light though.

unas2k5

Nice ! Was it an easy install?

fdjizm

Not too bad, you have to solder a few things and run some wires (if you're experienced in that) shouldn't be a big deal. Took me about 2 hours to install taking my time doing it right.
one of the best mods I've done to my car, I just bring my laptp to the track with me and dial in my two step when I have to.

WOTBox is a brand name. Kinda like "Dremel" vs. rotary tool.
