If your good enough you shouldn't be shocking the drivetrain during shifting that much anyways

There is some serious shock to the drievtrain if you know how to shift. I Almost spin going into 3rd. If I had traction on the street, Slamming 2nd is some serious shock and I dont even Powershift like CamaroJunky is saying when one does not lift off the gas when shifting. Makes a huge different, Its very harsh on the drivetrain but makes a diff.

Talk to 02NBMWS6 about that one, he can shift pretty well without shocking the drivetrain too bad.

im not sure if u have that problem since u upgraded to the LS7 clutch and flywheel. on my stock clutch when i either drive my car high rpm for a long period of time or slip the clutch too much, the clutch pedal goes to the floor and it feels like there is no pressure in the line, it only lasts like 10 seconds but it can **** you up big time on the track

I doubt the clutch would cause this, I think that would have to do more with the Hydrolics of the clutch not the clutch itself.

U know what the crazy part is, Never once have I experienced this issue. After a pull down the 1/4 it does get a little harder to get into gear but no sticking pedal or anything. ha ha ha
