Judging by your video your babying this thing to much. Stop the double clutching. This thing shifts with RPM. Up or down shifting. Your letting the trans tell you what to do. No !! Rev the engine an rip the gears. Taner has done a lot of R&d for liberty. His was the first face plate on the street I belive. I have driven his car many of times. This is a great set up. But no babying. Rev an pull hard an fast up through the gears. Then when you need to down shift , give the throttle a tap for RPM an pull it in. Again its rpm that shifts it. The higher the RPM the more it will almost shift it self. Simply BAD *** !!

That's the gayest video I have ever seen.... Who ever is driving that car should go buy a geo metro with a auto in it. I have had a faceplated t56 for over 3 years in a daily driver and you don't drive it like that.....you don't drive anything like that. For upshifting you just shift it quickly...shift it like you mean it. For wot shifting I don't use the clutch...so that alone makes the shift faster..I just breath the throttle a bit. For down shifting you have to rev match, learn how to heal toe like a road racer would do and it's smooth... My exgirlfriend drove this car for months and loved it..if she can figure it out anyone can...well besides the guy in that vid. Here's a vid of it at the track.

Took it to the track last week and it was simply BADASS. Made me look like a hero. Best track mod I have done to date. I even slipped off the shifter going into 3rd on my second run and it was like it sucked it into the next gear. I just held the gas to the floor once the lights started coming down against the 2 step let the clutch fly and just grabbed gears (yes, you have to use the clutch) I did not lift till the end of the track. Thanks to Jonathan and Tick for all their help.

Best video I could find for you guys. Not 100% exact but gives a general idea.

Here is my faceplated t56, I've run 200 passes on it with virtually no wear on the faceplates.
I picket up 3 tenths over a syncro t56

I drove my Nova on a 650 mile trip in october with my faceplatted six speed in it. I love every minute of it. Except for breaking it on the way home....

I'm looking to get a faceplated TKO 600 or Jerico DR4 for my Nova. Weekend car to drive to the strip or cruise nights & back so I'm really interested in your opinion of both street and strip driving. Thanks.

I broke the face plating off first gear. Liberty has my gear now hoping to have it back this week.

Here is a video of our fellow user ws6transam01 with his faceplated transmission on the street. I had a faceplated trans in my 99 SS for about a year and loved it. That trans is now in my LSX mustang and will be just as much fun as it was in my SS.
