sounds like youve been watching the fast and the furious lol......Granny shifting in essence is changing gears slowly, as for double clutching improving 1/4 times id say no...if anything it would probably make them slower as it would take longer to change than say flat shifting although this may cause wheel sping depending on the cars power. As for your syncros it is much easier on them if you heel toe (rev match) and or double clutch on high rev downshifts, its probably easier on them for up shifts as well but there will be no time benifit to it...afaik.

At the time mick51 and myself were dragracing my car on a regular basis, he was consistantly 0.7sec quicker than me. We put this down to our different approach to gear changing. He used to bang it through as fast as he could. It being my car I was a little slower and gentler. The plus side of a gentler approach is after 4 years of general use ,track and dragstrip, my gearbox is still in great shape....had a C's short shifter in for last 2 years too.

Double clutching makes no difference in terms of acceleration.

The reason people double clutched was because back in the old days there were no sync rings in the gear boxes.

Today however, every single cars since the 60's has sync rings in their gear boxes so you are silly to double clutch accelerating.

I only double clutch when slowing down (heal and toe) when i want to go around a corner quickly and accelerate out of the apex fast.

Ok i've been granny shifting for the past 2 weeks now for a few reasons which i wont go into cos they are boring...

One thing i can definately say is that its done wonders for my shifting in general. They are now far more crisp and precise, something that i hope will carry over when i gp back to driving normally.

Now when i say granny shift i mean shift early, at 3 grand and staying off boost as much as possible. I've found that by forcing myself to change like this with such low revs has made me rethink when and how i shift. Everything is currently slower but my technique has improved imeasurably.

Everyone try it on your way home today, shift at 3 grand no later, keep boost below 0psi at all times. If your anything like me you'll find yourself reading corners and shifts in a very different manner.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
