If your clutch drags at all, especially at high RPMs, you'll get a bit of a hesitation inbetween shifts, making you feel like you just can't shift fast. I went through this for the past two years knowing I could shift well because I did so on everyone else's car, but mine would just not shift quick. It took two years and a lot of money to figure the problem out, but now that the clutch is fully disengaging, shifting is almost simple and very fast, especially compared to how it used to feel before having a properly working clutch.

PS - if the clutch is dragging and you continue to drive it like that, you can say goodbye to your clutch AND transmission. Ask me how I know.
when u say dragging, what do u mean exactly. Like the shifter feels blocked by something and u have to push kinda hard to get into the next gear?? if so thats exactly what mine does at high RPM's. what causes this dragging??

Thanks for all the reply's guys ....... Im running a spec stage 5 as well as a b&m ripper but the clutch is about to get replaced as everything just got tore out. Im pretty sure i will be going with the spec 5 again.... I think the clutch thats in there may have been helping me miss shifts as the slave was leaking and i woke up to a clutch pedal to the floor today lol but shes all tore down now i just gotta decide what clutch

also this is a 750 rwhp zo6 thanks for the help and the replys

The most whoop *** shift experience is the one you get from a face plated T-56 going from 2nd to 3rd. A complete retard cant miss it. My shifter is a Pro 5.0 BTW.
