No-Lift shifting is the fastest shift you can perform hands down! But if done incorrectly it can be catastrophic for your transmission. I stopped power shifting my cars years ago and starting " quick shifting " instead. It's a lot easier on your transmission and there is less of a chance to miss a gear.

Man, I miss driving home after a cruise like this . My stang ALWAYS had me smiling ear to ear . Excellent shifting my friend .

@davehanson1417 2 года назад

This also depends on what shifter you have. You are going to miss a lot of shifts if you do this with a stock shifter or, you are going to over extend the shifter because you put too much muscle into the shift. A good shifter makes a ton of difference.

@mrbighands Год назад

That's where the pro 5.0 tower shifter comes to play.

@Todd.T Год назад

@@mrbighands That was the weapon of my choice. I broke a Hurst aluminum on the 1-2 when that thing was popular. Put the Pro 5.0 power tower in and never broke another shifter again. Adjust the stops and slam away. I powershifted every race. Didn't break a thing. It took me a while, but eventually I learned to power shift my 1993 Taurus SHO which makes a big difference when you are racing Mustangs. Billy Glidden powershifted an SHO to 14.7. Most people with Mustangs could afford them, but not drive them properly, so I had a lot of fun with them in the SHO.

@86.rustystang91 2 года назад

First time I tried to power shift my old t5 was about 5 years ago and I absolutely ruined it on stock power in my 86 GT. Jammed the shifter between 1st and second got it home and took the trans apart turns out I split the 1-2 gear synchro hub lmao you can shift a t5 pretty fast. I have rode in fox bodies with experienced drivers and they will surprise you how fast you can shift. It’s about taking that load off the internals for the split second during the shift. If you can practice and get that down a t5 is an awesome transmission man

@dieselkumar6451 2 года назад

Good tips for sure. And t5s definitely are all different. My 4cyl t5 broke input shaft on motor. My current 89 gt t5 messed up syncro or something at the track on a powershift few weeks ago. Can’t get it in 2nd anymore. But it was a 200 dollar trans that I’ve been beating on for over a year. 300+ drag races

@johngilliam6581 2 года назад

@yendor86 Год назад

I’m a power shifter from way back. When my 88 GT was new I had it back at the dealer 3 times to replace synchros. I came here doubtful that your method was gonna seem legit. But the first time you shifted from 2nd to 3rd I said “Cleeeean!” Good job. Good video

@79beans347 2 года назад

I love the t5 in Beans with the hydraulic clutch conversion I put on it although I would have preferred the cable and the quadrant but headers decided to get in the way 🤦🏻‍♂️ but I still enjoy banging gears in Beans, I do have the upgrades that helps them live with a little more power thrown at them, I figured that Beans would be a good candidate for the upgrades with the extra 10hp i have over stock 😁

@rodneygodin7773 2 года назад

Wrap the headers I’ve got two inch primary’s, trickflow from sw, my cable lays on headers by fork & never melted yet

@79beans347 2 года назад

@@rodneygodin7773 my headers are wrapped but that's not really the problem, the primaries run directly in front of the mounting hole and the steel collar sticks straight out so its not even remotely close to going in unless I bend the steel collar at a 90° angle which would bind up the cable, it's on a 79 pinto and that is about the only longtube headers made for it and I think that they were really made for a automatic , I know a few others who had to do the same thing that I did. I just wish I could use the cable setup because it is much easier and less prone to go bad

When I was in My 20's in the 90's, I broke several T5's. They do shift nicely, especially with a Hurst shifter. I like Your Red GT. It kind of reminds Me of My 1990 Supercharged Mustang GT. Quick shifts Your way are enough for a T5. At 51, I'm pretty sure I could make one last as The stock clutch/transmission and rear are original pieces and are alive and well in My 2004 ECS boosted Z06.
