just tried that powershift multiple times with 3rd to 4th gear. i dont push the clutch all the way in, just to the engagement point. i know i hit it cause the gear pops out of 3rd real easily, but it just wont go into 4th no matter how fast i do it when i leave the pedal floored.

the only way i got this to work is by VERY slightly lifting up the gas from the floored position.. car jerks forward, so it seems right. but ya, i found it impossible to do this with the pedal completely floored the whole time

It's not you. It's hard to do correctly all the time. just be careful with your clutch.

Careful on your clutch That's the least your worries. You should be more worried about the syncros and dog gears. Mess up a shift and you could easily wreck them. Even perfectly executed powershifts will put a lot of stress on these components. The clutch really doesn't care assuming you do it right. Heck, if your good, you can actually shift without a clutch. I use to do it all the time in my old CRX and on occasion in my Maxima.

No change in tire pressure. Ran at 85' weather. I had a bad launch.
I'll be at the strip this sunday, I'll have vids and pics posted by then
