  • Want to know what happens when your car shifts like a man?

    If you have a car that shifts like a man you can go sideways :D

    It was raining today.. I was leaving school... just driving normally. I come to a stop sign, stop, and start to go again... hit about 3700rpm, my car shifts, and GOES SIDEWAYS! IT was awesome! I was going in a straight freakin line and the rear end came out like nothing... I always lose traction when it shifts, but it usually stays pointing straight. This was the first time I got sideways when it shifted when I wasn't trying to LOL

      Yea, I get that a lot. Even when its not raining. Its a fun feeling but not so fun when going around a curve.

        Shifts like a man? You mean like how my car does it everytime in the rain because it just drops into gear like its some shift kit or something? Lol. Seriously, my tranny does not even slip nicely between gears, it just F'n hits. Piece O' Crap. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

            Yeah of course you can floor it and get it sideways, but I wasn't even trying! My car shifts so hard it just whoops the a** out like nothing.. thats what happens when you rebuild it though :D
            It will bark the 1.2 shift when its dry, so just imagine the fun to be had while wet...

                IF your tranny shifted like a REAL man, you would have the words... "I dropped it into second and dumped the CLUTCH" in there. ;)

                      Anybody can dump the clutch and spin the tires, gotta have a manly transmission to let it shift and get sideways all on its own!

                            When I'm really motoring I squeal the tires on the 2-3 shift on dry pavement.

                            My backend slides around all the time in the rain. It's a lot of fun.
