Question changing gears...
See the video below where I go from 2 to 3 going down the on-ramp. The shifting is so quick and smooth, but I want to make sure I'm not doing damage with those types of quick shifts.

nothing i can see wrong with that.
you'll wear the syncros a little faster because they have to mesh together in shorter time, but they're gonna wear anyway.
aside from that, if you're shifting super quick to the point where youre getting chirps from the rears (not allowing the revs to drop enough) you might be putting extra strain through the drivetrain, but that's what the car's built for.
nice bend in the on-ramp

Is that a shift from 3rd to 6th at the end? Skip shifting destroys synchro sleeves.
I don't think I've chirped the tires in this car ever.
Thanks for the feedback.
