that it saves the diff more than it saves the tranny?

 

I guess that's my point of contention, that you are saving the tranny, in that it's the first line of defense in the shifting gears w out breaking stuff scenario

 

My analogy is basically that it doesn't take a strong arm to do a lot of damage with a heavy hammer, and it doesn't matter how strong your arm is, you're not going to do much damage with a small hammer. The flywheel and clutch is the hammer, and the engine is the arm.

 

Granny shiftin is just a way of saying that you shift soft. I wasnt refering to the way you move the shifter from 1st to 2nd, but more of the way you engauge the clutch while changing gears. If you let it out slow, the disc will slip to reduce the shock. If your dumpin the clutch in each gear (or take off since thats when you will see the worst inpact) then it will strain your drivetrain more.

If you have a strong clutch, then usually the engaugement is alot faster, so it will send a stronger shock thought the ENTIRE driveline. In the S2k the diff is the weakest point.

That means, if send a strong enough shock though, the weakest point will break.

If you have a stock tranny and diff, your diff will go out before your tranny.

 

Hence the CDV on the AP2's

 

talk abut thread jack lol

 

ok, what you are saying makes more sense to me now that you have described the situation you were thinking about, thanks

 

you almost had me?

you never had me!

you never had your car!

granny shiftin, not double clutchin like you should!

you're lucky that hundred shot of NAWS didnt blow the welds on the intake!

now me and the mad scientist gotta tear down the engine block and replace the piston rings you fried!

 

OK F&F

 

Nice quote T6, how many times u watch that movie?


nothin beats Trans S2k spanking that VW...... "Too soon, junior"
