    Quotes???

    On a wall, in a stairwell at the Nurburgring. http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii287/bac52/2919DC0F-AC65-469C-B378-62F1810E10C3_zpsabdycjut.jpg

    Quotes???

    I don't know who said THAT quote, but Laurel Thatcher Ulrich said: "Well-behaved women seldom make history" in a 1976 article, and she wrote a book with that title in 2007. I think you could credit the "don't" version to KRB, if you wanted.
  3. No, it was his complaint that the clutch in his Ferrari 250GT was shit, and that his tractor clutches were better. Enzo Ferrari brushed him off, and Ferrucino decided to make his own V12 supercar.
  4. Correct. The case does not flex sufficiently to cause failure. The ONLY research showing this might happen, was done many years ago with extremely unrealistic boundary conditions (both shafts locked together, no engine bolted to the bell housing, and in steady-state loading). Even then, the case deflection was marginal and not nearly sufficient to cause the shafts to separate. If you look at the basic design of the gearbox, and have any understanding of engineering, you would see the lack of logic in the case flex claims. But, people are eager for a snake-oil charm and are willing to believe whatever they will to justify the money spent, just like every other brace people think they absolutely need. You spend the money, know "this thing is gonna blow and is only held together by these plates", and drive more carefully as result. PayPal me half the money, and I'll send you a PM once a month for the next year reminding you your trans isn't bulletproof and that you should drive accordingly. I really like the guys at Moore, and they build some of the best parts I've seen in the industry. These plates are no exception. They are likely built exceptionally well. But if you think they are going to bulletproof your trans, you are fooling yourself.
  5. Case flex Some people will believe anything.
  6. Stiffer doesn't always mean better performance.
  7. It was model year dependent. The 06 WRX had one, but not the 06 STI. Just rolling changes between models.

    Grace Hopper, not the author of Eragon.
  9. How else do you think they get monster trucks on trailers? http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii287/bac52/85F607F6-D1A2-42D3-B457-77740470C273-2721-0000013B485DB741_zpsf39c84a8.jpg
  10. But a kickdown button is actually kind of a good idea, especially on a DSG (or some variant)... As long as you know what it's for.
  11. That's what BMW uses it for. They call it the "kickdown button". Edit: just saw you are talking about a 6MT 335. No idea why that would have a button...
