Video is kinda weaksauce, the camera got burned out by the bright sunshine and due to the length [5min +] I had to kill quality but it should give you an idea of what driving on the street is like with a Faceplated trans once you learn how it behaves.

Important Details:
Tick Performance - Faceplated T56 with Viper output shaft
Tick Performance - Master Cylinder
Monster 11" Race Clutch
And obviosly:
CARTEK 4XS Heads/Cam
Sorry for the months and months of waiting with a very anti-climactic ending lol.

If you are driving around town and shifting a stock T56 w/o the clutch you are either:
a. Retarded
b. Ignorant
c. About to have a falure
d. All of the above

Just for those that do not know if you double clutch on the upshift it will not clunk like that.
1 question I have is do you always just downshift like that (normal)? And if so how many miles on that thing so far? I am trying to get the downshifting down to where it does not clunk either.

I do tend to stir **** from time to time. But in this case I'm just being harsh. Think about it... What would you call shifting a transmisssion which is designed from the onset to be usd with a clutch without using the cluch? I call that stupid to say the least.
People always wonder why I was able to run a bone stock trans way into the 10 launching at 7000 and shifting the same with over 400 passes and others' T56s fail much sooner with less power and less track use. The answer is simple I don't do stupid **** like shifting a synchronized trans without a clutch. I use it like it was designed to be used.
So call it harsh, but watch, that guy will be posting abot which rebuild kit he needs to buy within 6 months to a year.
