You have trouble down shifting in to 1st?
My 2nd to 1st shift is one of my smoother shifts...

That's sort of how I drive to school and back home and to the store accept I usually only get to third gear and I tend to touch the brakes a bit as I approach the corner because I downshift too late and my engine doesn't rev down quick enough. Should that have been more than one sentence?

actually if you do it properly, with a revmatch there is Little to no extra wear on either the transmissoin or the clutch... My last clutch lasted me 86,000 miles.

THat car is built for racing, and so is that transmission. It can handle that. Plus if they have enough money to have a racing porsche they have enough to repair a worn tranny.

Yeah most like ly he has a good a clutch with a custom built tranny. I tried shifting as fast when I race any and everycar that is faster than mine and it seems like its works for me. I heard a slight grind 2 times due to the fact that I was trying to lose . I kept up with an 02 maxima that time. Don't doubt ours cars. With a proper set-up you can shift that fast. Listen as he jams gas, fly wheel spins fast. Probably titanium double syncros
