sodium303 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 So i was messing with my AP after installing my DP and updating to stage 2. and i saw Flat foot shift...I know i sound newbish but any how i went ahead and set it at 5500rpm and used it maybe twice and was surprised by how it held boost while i shift throughout gears. I had a friend of mine tell me it was super bad for my tranny, though i trust him on what he said since he has a wrx i am taking caution on how much i use it. Now i am on here asking my dear LGT members to see if any of you have used it at all and any advise as to how much i should use it or not use it at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob-2 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 If your revs are higher then the gearing intends this is call 'power shifting' it wears clutch and jars tranny/diffs. You should set your flat foot setting at the rev the next gear will be at. So for example when shifting at red from 2nd to 3rd, your revs go from 6500 to 4100 you want your flat foot rev to be set at 4100. Basically you're using flat foot to hold boost not to jar the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I def do not want to be replacing a tranny unless its a 6speed lol:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatentWagen Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Real FFS is when you keep your right foot down between shifts. This is how real racers run their cars... inch or a mile. If you decide to try it on your 5MT, don't mind the banging and funny noises that will ensue. Working transmissions are over-rated. LW's spec.

ehsnils Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Just build in an ignition cut when the stick is in neutral and the throttle is floored. That way you will solve the rev problem. Add a sequential gearbox too: http://eng.kaps-transmissions.com/products-si-full-sequential-gearbox.html [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7_iHGXrs7g]KAPS Subaru sequential gearbox in action - YouTube[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf_c92qqk3o]Subaru sequential box test - YouTube[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
