Pro shifting is OK, but if I had to do it over, I'd go face plated. My pro shifted trans is popping out of 3rd now. I did go through it and deburred it, but that didn't seem to help. It needs rebuilding. I probably have 100 passes on it and a couple hundred street miles.

The only time syncros slow your shifting is above 7k rpm. So basically if you don't shift higher than 7k you don't gain anything. (except the loss of drivability)

I dont know about him or if its really true about not slowing you down shifting, but I had mine faceplated,(one of the first on the street) because I was tired of going thru a rebuilt trans in half a summer here in MI. which is about 1 1/2-2 mo. I did the research and knew the hassels I would have to live with.
Just dont do it because you think its going to be cheeper than a full rebuild. When mine was all done it came up to around $1200 but I had to have parts replaced. I went thru 4 trans before this, one by D&D one that was in a 9 sec t/a and was cryod and 2 stock ones. I am hard on parts. I dont lift and I was shifting on the bottle. I broke 2nd in the cryod trans and 4th in the D&D trans. The others were just bad syncros. This one has held up to everything I have given it. But its not for a novis stick driver.
