yeah thats pretty much the reaction, you dont have a slight loss of speed when you do the shifting, its not that much of a deal but with each shift the car seems to give a lil hop? something like that, but like sebba says, if you dont have the skills ill haunt your dreams laughing at your broken tranny

I'm sure your dad will appreciate you frying his syncro's on his Jeep...hell, he'll probably even give you a raise in your allowance... *rollseyes*

im scared to do it at moderate speed....its a 4 cylynder and it makes all sorts of strange noises....for some reason my dad is biased to jeeps...he has a liberty too

jeeps are awesome, theres a lot of off-road culture here (needless to say the ricers are scared theyre gonna get run over... and in fact IT HAS HAPPENED) ive seen jeeps flying from high dunes, hills, on mountain trials, even over the islands on the street to go faster to other places... im always like O_O wow

Good, then you can buy your own vehicle to practice your powershifting on.

You need to time it perfectly.... shift at redline at WOT without using the clutch..
