I have read that it is a BAD thing to skip-shift gears; e.g., from first to third, since it messes up and can damage your gearbox's synchronizer rings.** Has anyone else heard/read about this?
**Edit: I saw this on one of the S2000 Forums some time back. Will try to find the info and post it. Be GOOD to your trannies!  |
Did you know that some cars FORCE you to shift from first to fourth under part throttle?
