Brutal 1-2 missed shift
#31
I don't buy Kool-Aid
I had a little tango with a WRX. We both agreed to have a little stop light fun. I got the car sideways for the first time ever with a good launch, wound out to red line and missed 2nd gear. It just would not go in. I didn't force it in or get it into gear but I sure did hammer it hard with a good slam. Now I'm worried and I'm like holy f%&k. What kinda damage did I do?
The car seems fine---NO crunchy syncros and I'm shifting all right. But I'm still worried. I occasionally miss a shift and get that rare grind but only because I re-adjusted my seat and I misjudged clutch heigth. Other than that, I've never had a brutal mistake quite like I just had. Anyone want to share the robustness of the RX8 tranny or lack of it? Am I okay?? It seems to be fine. Am I worrying too much? I have no idea why it didn't go into gear.
Other than that, I think I would have had the WRX. I caught up to the guy later and he said he heard my mis-shift.
FYI: I think the RX8 is faster.
